IN HOLY SCRIPTURE DONALD BLOESCH SETS FORTH THE PIVOTAL evangelical doctrines of the Bible's revelation, inspiration and interpretation

Wishing to "defend the orthodox evangelical faith from its friends as well as its enemies," Bloesch provocatively argues against evangelical rationalism and liberal experientialism. Instead, he proposes the alternative of biblical evangelical- istn, which sees Scripture as the written Word of God but stresses that it becomes the living Word of God only through the illumination of the Spirit

Unfailingly irenic, Holy Scripture seeks to build bridges between various warring parties of the church. Deeply congruent with historical Christianity, yet boldly determined to interpret it for our times, it makes an important and edifying contribution to vexed contemporary debates over biblical authority
