<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Timothy Ward offers an excellent, lucid exposition of the nature and function of Scripture, expressed in a form appropriate for the tweny-first century, grounded in the relevant scholarship, and standing firmily in line with the best of the theological traditions.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Throughout Christian history, the overwhelmingly predominant view of the Bible has been that it is itself the living and active word of God. In this book Timothy Ward explains and defends what we are really saying when we trust and proclaim, as we must, that the Bible is God's word. In particular he describes the nature of the relationship between the living God and Scripture. He examines why, in order to worship God faithfully, we need to pay close attention to the Bible; why, in order to be faithful disciples of Jesus, the Word-made-flesh, we need to base our lives on the words of the Bible; and why, in order to keep in step with the Holy Spirit, we need to trust and obey what the Bible says. Ward offers an understanding of the nature of Scripture under three main headings. A <em>biblical</em> outline shows that the words of the Bible form a significant part of God's action in the world. A <em>theological</em> outline focuses on the relationship of Scripture with each of the persons of the Trinity. And a <em>doctrinal</em> outline examines the 'attributes' of Scripture. A final chapter explores some significant areas in which the doctrine of Scripture should be applied. Ward offers us an excellent, lucid exposition of the nature and function of Scripture, expressed in a form appropriate for the tweny-first century, grounded in the relevant scholarship, and standing firmly in line with the best of the theological traditions.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Here is a winsome book, a lucid book, a consolidative book!</p>--Kenneth J. Stewart, Presbyterion, Spring 2011<br><br><p>This is a serious and well researched piece of writing, written at the pastoral and applied level. Any preacher, who has been disturbed by the challenges of 'post-modernity' and 'post-foundationalism' and wonders what they are really meant to be doing with the Bible, would benefit from reading it.</p>--Jim Purves, The Pneuma Review, Spring 2011<br>
