About this title

Synopsis

In dialogue with Martin Luther, John Calvin, P. T. Forsyth, Karl Barth and Emil Brunner, Donald Bloesch's Holy Scripture examines the implications of biblical authority for the twenty-first 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 late-modern issues, such as the value of biblical criticism, the meaning of myth, the plethora of hermeneutical options and the nature of truth.
