About this title

Synopsis

<p><strong>Voted one of <em>Christianity Today</em>'s Books of the Year</strong></p><p>In <em>Holy Scripture,</em> Donald G. Bloesch sets out the pivotal evangelical doctrines of the Bible's revelation, inspiration and interpretation. Striving to "defend the orthodox evangelical faith from its friends as well as its enemies," he provocatively argues against both evangelical rationalism and liberal experientialism. And he proposes the alternative of biblical evangelicalism--which sees Scripture as the <em>written</em> Word of God but stresses that it becomes the <em>living</em> Word of God only through the illumination of the Holy Spirit.</p><p>In dialogue with Martin Luther, John Calvin, P. T. Forsyth, Karl Barth and Emil Brunner, Bloesch's<em>Holy Scripture</em> examines the implications of biblical authority for the 21st century. It surveys the role of the Bible as seen within the Bible itself and as that role has unfolded through centuries of Christian tradition. It also explains and critiques many highly contested issues, such as the value of biblical criticism, the meaning of myth, the plethora of hermeneutical options and the nature of truth.</p>
