This book represents a continuation of study, debate, and
conversation, particularly within the Episcopal Church in the U.S.,
concerning the authority and function of the Bible in the church.
The content of the debate and conversation, however, will be of
interest and benefit also to members of other church bodies. A
helpful study guide appears at the beginning of the book to assist
individuals and group to work through the various contributions and
to draw their own conclusions regarding the Bible's role in today's
church. The literal and plain sense of the scriptures, the matter
in which the Bible is to be regarded as incarnate in history and
human limitations, and the degree to which it is subject to
historical conditions-these and a host of other critical issues
provide the focus of the book. Special attention is directed to the
issue of the growing biblical illiteracy in society, leading one of
the contributors to warn that "biblical illiteracy is the precursor
to spiritual death and communal dissolution." The main chapters
include" "The 'Official position' of the Episcopal Church on the
Authority of Scripture: Historical Development and Ecumenical
Comparison" (J. Robert Wright); "Holy Book, Holy People: A Study of
the Authority and Use of the Bible" (Charles P. Price); "'For
Freedom Christ Has Set You Free': The Interpretation and Authority
of Scripture in Contemporary Theologies of Liberation" (Ellen K.
Wondra); "Reading the Bible as the Word of God" (Stephen F. Noll);
"The Scriptures in the Life of the Church" (Richard A. Norris,
Jr.). The editor, Frederick Houk Borsch, is Bishop of the Episcopal
Diocese of Los Angeles.
