Synopsis

This book explores how the role of the Bible in shaping Christian theology has transformed throughout history. The author argues that the traditional use of the Bible as an equal and infallible authority has become untenable in the light of modern scholarly research. This perspective has created a problem for theology, as it must now find a way to use the Bible that is both faithful to its historical context and relevant to the needs of the present day. The author offers a new understanding of the Bible's role, arguing that it should be used as a guide and inspiration rather than as a set of authoritative doctrines. By doing so, theology can break free from its reliance on outdated methods and embrace a more dynamic and responsive approach to the study of God and the Christian faith.
