By almost any measure, a bold and confident use of the Bible is a
hallmark of Christianity. Underlying such use are a number of
assumptions about the origin, nature and form of the biblical
literature, concerning its authority, diversity and message.
However, a lack of confidence in the clarity or perspicuity of
Scripture is apparent in Western Christianity. Despite recent,
sophisticated analyses, the doctrine is ignored or derided by many.
While there is a contemporary feel to these responses, the debate
itself is not new. In this excellent study, Mark Thompson surveys
past and present objections to the clarity of Scripture; expounds
the living God as the Guarantor of his accessible, written Word;
engages with the hermeneutical challenges; and restates the
doctrine for today.
Centered in the words of Scripture and especially the teaching of
Jesus himself, this volume unpacks the doctrine of Scripture as
taught by the church through the ages, helping to strengthen
readers' confidence in God's word.

simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with current
scholarship and to point the way ahead.
