The nature of the authority of the Bible is crucial. In this outstanding study, the author first considers various theories of the nature of inspiration. This leads to a consideration of the 'entire trustworthiness' of the Bible, the inerrancy debate, and the place of biblical criticism.
From determining the original meaning of the text, Professor Marshall turns to the Bible's contemporary significance and meaning before finally presenting the authority of Scripture for today. 'The Bible is precious to the Christian believer, not because it is regarded as some kind of magical oracle but because here one hears and receives the message of a gracious God who, having revealed himself supremely in this Son Jesus Christ, continues to reveal himself and through the pages of Scripture'
