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.

"Holy Scripture could well represent the high point of evangelicalism's dialogue with modern skepticism."--The Covenant Quarterly
"Bloesch argues convincingly for a theology of Word and Spirit, not of rationalism or mysticism. Like Luther and Calvin, Forsyth and Barth, his mentors, Bloesch believes that the power of the Word of God creates its own hearing. Christologically centered and biblically rooted, Bloesch is in continual dialogue with theologians past and present. He states that his desire in [A Theology of Word & Spirit] is to produce 'an enlivening and liberating orthodoxy, ' and he has succeeded."--Robert K. Johnston, Fuller Theological Seminary
Donald G. Bloesch (1928-2010) earned his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago and was professor of theology emeritus at Dubuque Theological Seminary in Dubuque, Iowa.
