"A study of the doctrine of Scripture that moves us decisively beyond both the old defensive conservatism and the old rationalistic liberalism has long been urgently needed. John Goldingay has provided it. By refusing to squeeze the whole of Scripture into a single category or 'model," he develops a high doctrine of Scripture that respects the variety of its contents and functions." -RICHARD BAUCKHAM St. Mary's College, University of St. Andrews "John Goldingay has given us a richly textured study of scriptural models that reflect the Bible's own language and usage. The author has mastered a vast liter- ature on contemporary discussions of Scripture and cut through current contro- versies by focusing on several scriptural models and the implications each holds for various types of biblical writings.... This book is a splendid achievement. It will provide much-needed future guidance for discussions about the nature: of Scripture and the most appropriate ways of describing it." -DONALD K. McKIM Memphis Theological Seminary "No issue is of more importance for the church at this time than that of under- standing how its Scriptures are 'authority," "canon," and 'revelation." Taking a fresh approach to the questions by utilizing the biblical materials themselves, this book can aid the church in thinking through and formulating that impor tant understanding." -ELIZABETH ACHTEMEIER Union Theological Seminary in Virginia 220.10853646384 Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 220.1 Gol m E95020060 Non Fiction 220.1 Gol m 91gh2yaJ9HL._SY466_.jpg 49301 2014-12-11 08:36:43 2024-12-04 19:07:40 machine generated
