Is the Bible infallible as some churches claim? Is it a
historical document or a piece of literature, as scholars suggest?
This helpful new book offers a brief introduction to the question
of biblical authority, using essays by sixteen scholars who use the
Bible as the word of God in their own religious tradition and
scholarship. After William Brown introduces the basic issues of
biblical authority, each scholar presents a different, but
sympathetic, view from his or her own perspective. Included are
traditional Reformed, Lutheran, Wesleyan, Catholic, Jewish, and
Orthodox views; recent conservative and evangelical positions; and
critical African American, Asian American, Hispanic, feminist, and
womanist perspectives.
