Book Synopsis Ascertaining Bible Authority by : Roy Deaver
Download or read book Ascertaining Bible Authority written by Roy Deaver and published by . This book was released on 2016-08-10 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, Ascertaining Bible Authority, by the late Roy C. Deaver (1922-2007) has been a blessing to many serious students of the Scriptures for about thirty-nine years now. The author, a tremendous student of Scripture himself, discusses the principles of Bible interpretation which, if understood and applied, will help the student come to a greater understanding of the biblical text as written. The Bible supplies principles by which it is to be interpreted. The original meaning of the text cannot be comprehended unless the Scriptures are handled in the way that the Scriptures demand that we handle them. The Bible is a rational book and must be rationally approached. Ascertaining Bible Authority can help Bible students understand better how it is that the Bible teaches what it does and how it is that it authorizes what we are to do today. And it provides the link whereby people living today become connected to the authority of Scripture. It is hoped that as this little book has been a blessing to many (including gospel preachers and preacher students) for years in its preceding editions, that it might become a great blessing to you that read and study and learn from it in this latest printing.- Mac Deaver (July 11, 2016)

Book Synopsis Engaging Biblical Authority by : William P. Brown
Download or read book Engaging Biblical Authority written by William P. Brown and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the Bible infallible or inerrant, as some churches claim? Is it a historical document or a piece of literature, as some scholars suggest? This book offers a brief introduction to the question of biblical authority, using essays written by sixteen scholars who use the Bible as the Word of God in their own religious tradition and in their scholarship. Beginning with an introduction to the foundational issues of biblical authority, these scholars each present a different, but sympathetic, view of the Bible from his or her own perspective and experience. Their voices include traditional Reformed, Lutheran, Wesleyan, Catholic, Jewish, and Orthodox views; recent conservative or evangelical positions; and critical African American, Asian American, Hispanic, feminist, and womanist perspectives. --From publisher's description.
Book Synopsis Questioning the Bible by : Jonathan Morrow
Download or read book Questioning the Bible written by Jonathan Morrow and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible is the most influential book in human history. But what are we supposed to do with it in the 21st century? And even more importantly, can it still be trusted as the Word of God? Confusion and doubt about the Bible are becoming as common inside the church as they are outside. Questions come from all sides: Is the Bible anti-intellectual? Has the biblical text been corrupted over the centuries? Who really chose the books of the Bible and why? Which interpretation of the Bible is correct? Are the gospels full of contradictions? There are an unprecedented number of sophisticated attacks on the origin, credibility, and reliability of the Bible today. Secularism has tried to undercut even the possibility of spiritual or moral knowledge. Skepticism toward institutional religion is at an all-time high. Yet, the Bible claims that truth is knowable and God is actively involved in our world. What are we to do? Pray for wisdom. Think clearly. Pick up your Bible. Read through the 11 major challenges presented in these pages. And be ready.

How do we define the Bible’s authority for the past and the future? What does a church that takes the Bible’s authority seriously actually look like? How does it read, study, and pray with the Bible? And God Spoke offers essential guidelines for everyone who wonders about the authority of the Bible, and who wants to read it with attentiveness and understanding.
Book Synopsis The Sacred Text by : Ronald F. Satta
Download or read book The Sacred Text written by Ronald F. Satta and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2007-07-15 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advances of geologic science, Darwinism, theological liberalism, and higher textual criticism converged in the nineteenth century to present an imposing challenge to biblical authority. The meteoric rise in secular knowledge exerted tremendous pressure on the Protestant theological elite of the time. Their ruminations, conversations, quarrels, and convictions offer penetrating insight into their world--into their perspective on Scripture and authority and how their outlook was challenged, defended, and sometimes changed across time. Moreover, the nineteenth-century imbroglios greatly illuminate a recent controversy over biblical authority. Some influential modern scholars of American religion contend that the doctrine of the inerrancy of the original autographs is a recently contrived theory, a theological aberration decidedly out of concert with mainline orthodoxy since the Reformation. They argue that pressure from biblical critics incited late nineteenth-century Princeton theologians to fabricate the notion as a way to quell criticism against Scripture. American fundamentalists, they insist, unwittingly adopted inerrancy as orthodoxy, being deceived by this innovation. This story has become standard scholarly currency in many quarters. However, The Sacred Text indicates that fundamentalists and conservative Protestants more generally are the standard-bearers of the ascendant theory of biblical authority commonly endorsed among many of the leading Protestant elite in nineteenth-century America.
