Essays edited by Paul Helm reopening the question of what Scripture is - after a century in which the doctrine became a flashpoint and then a subject people avoided. Read more.
For two millennia the church has affirmed and celebrated Scripture as the written word of God. In the twentieth century, however, the doctrine of Scripture became the focus and the flashpoint for division, and one legacy of those debates has been a reluctance to address the nature of Scripture at all.
This collection of essays seeks to reopen the discussion on a fundamental tenet of the Christian faith, offering something of a prelude to a fresh approach. The contributors take up the relation of divine trustworthiness to the text, the historical shape of the doctrine, and the questions the older debates left unsettled. Edited by Paul Helm, a philosopher by training.
