How does properly interpreted scripture bear on Christian theology
and ethics? That is the question addressed in the Trinity Press
edition of this classic text, which includes a new preface by the
author. The issue is not so much how to interpret scripture as what
to do with it once one has interpreted it. The book therefore
explores not what theologians have said about scripture's authority
for theology, but the sense in which scripture serves as authority
in their actual practice of theology. It offers a set of brief case
studies of theologians authorizing or "proving" a theological
proposal by scripture, and based on these studies, an analysis of
the concept of "authority for theology" implicit in them. Finally,
it teases out of the cases implicit assumptions about what the
concept of scripture means and why appeal ought to be made to it to
"prove theology." "Kelsey has given us a book that deserves the
serious attention not only of professional theologians but also of
pastors and all those in the Christian community who understand
their personal identity and the identity of their community to be
shaped in some sense by scripture." Theology Today David H. Kelsey
is Luther Weigle Professor of Theology at Yale Divinity School and
Yale Graduate School.
