What do evangelicals believe when they 'believe in the Bible'?
Despite hundreds of English versions that differ in their texts,
evangelicals continue to believe that there is a stable text--'the
Bible'--which is the authoritative word of God and an essential
guide to their everyday lives. To understand this phenomenon of
evangelical Biblicism, anthropologist and biblical scholar Brian
Malley looks not to the words of the Bible but to the
Bible-believing communities. For as Malley demonstrates, it is less
the meaning of the words of the Bible itself than how 'the Bible'
provides a proper ground for beliefs that matters to evangelicals.
Drawing on recent cognitive and social theory and extensive
fieldwork in an evangelical church, Malley's book is an invaluable
guide for seminarians, social scientists of religion, or for anyone
who wants to understand just how the Bible works for American
evangelicals.
