Publisher Description
How can an evangelical view of Scripture be reconciled with modern biblical scholarship? In this book Peter Enns, an expert in biblical interpretation, addresses Old Testament phenomena that challenge traditional evangelical perspectives on Scripture. He then suggests a way forward, proposing an incarnational model of biblical inspiration that takes seriously both the divine and the human aspects of Scripture. This tenth anniversary edition has an updated bibliography and includes a substantive postscript that reflects on the reception of the first edition.
Customer Reviews
A truly biblical perspective
Enns allows the Bible to speak for itself. Instead of forcing it through our own modern assumptions, Enns looks at the text itself and draws conclusions from it. Those conclusions are going to make some evangelicals uncomfortable. But the evidence is there if you wish to see at it. For anyone struggling with how the Bible can be still essential for the modern Christian, The author provides a truly holy yet human hermeneutic that is a wonderful starting point for studying God‘s word.
