Readers' Choice Awards Honorable Mention Preaching's Preacher's
Guide to the Best Bible Reference From John H. Walton, author of
the bestselling Lost World of Genesis One, and D. Brent Sandy,
author of Plowshares and Pruning Hooks, comes a detailed look at
the origins of scriptural authority in ancient oral cultures and
how they inform our understanding of the Old and New Testaments
today. Stemming from questions about scriptural inerrancy,
inspiration and oral transmission of ideas, The Lost World of
Scripture examines the process by which the Bible has come to be
what it is today. From the reasons why specific words were used to
convey certain ideas to how oral tradition impacted the
transmission of biblical texts, the authors seek to uncover how
these issues might affect our current doctrine on the authority of
Scripture. "In this book we are exploring ways God chose to reveal
his word in light of discoveries about ancient literary culture,"
write Walton and Sandy. "Our specific objective is to understand
better how both the Old and New Testaments were spoken, written and
passed on, especially with an eye to possible implications for the
Bible?s inspiration and authority." The books in the Lost World
Series follow the pattern set by Bible scholar John H. Walton,
bringing a fresh, close reading of the Hebrew text and knowledge of
ancient Near Eastern literature to an accessible discussion of the
biblical topic at hand using a series of logic-based propositions.
