This balanced approach to understanding the inspiration and authority of the Bible presents a "middle" position on biblical inerrancy that steers clear of pitfalls common to both ends of the spectrum. The authors defend the full authority and trustworthiness of the Bible against those who limit or dismiss its authority, yet they also reject the oversimplifications and false dichotomies found in fundamentalist appeals to verbal inerrancy in defense of the Bible's authority. They consider the whole doctrine of Scripture, including divine authority, human character, and spiritual dynamic, to resolve the biblical authority debate and provide the searching believer a discerning, functional trust in the Bible's relevance to everyday life. First published over twenty years ago - but all the more relevant for today's context - "The Scripture Principle" has now been revised to speak with new clarity on this perennial issue.

Paperback. Condition: Good. This book is a fresh examination of the authority and reliability of the Bible for the thoughtful Christian believer today. We live in a world of emerging ideas stemming largely from a reassessment of the critical thinking of the Enlightenment and the modern, secular age.The modern world created a crisis of the Scripture principle by substituting critical reason as the principle for knowing final truth. The postmodern world looks at things quite differently, focusing on what it means to live in a world where there seems to be no rational certainties, no philosophical proofs, and no final authorities. In the face of these modern and postmodern challenges, these Evangelical authors offer a fresh, informed, and balanced view of the role of the Scriptures in knowing God.
