Throughout Christian history, the overwhelmingly predominant view
of the Bible has been that it is itself the living and active word
of God. Timothy Ward explains and defends what we are really saying
when we trust and proclaim, as we must, that the Bible is God's
word. In particular, he describes the nature of the relationship
between the living God and Scripture. He examines why, in order to
worship God faithfully, we need to pay close attention to the
Bible; why, in order to be faithful disciples of Jesus - the
Word-made-flesh - we need to base our lives on the words of the
Bible; and why, in order to keep in step with the Holy Spirit, we
need to trust and obey what the Bible says. Ward offers an
understanding of the nature of Scripture under three main headings.
A biblical outline shows that the words of the Bible form a
significant part of God's action in the world. A theological
outline focuses on the relationship of Scripture with each of the
persons of the Trinity. A doctrinal outline examines the
'attributes' of Scripture. A final chapter explores some
significant areas in which the doctrine of Scripture should be
applied. Grounded in the relevant scholarship, this excellent,
lucid exposition of the nature and function of Scripture stands
firmly in line with the best of the theological traditions and is
expressed in a form appropriate for the twenty-first century.
