Description

All through Christian history, the overwhelmingly predominant view of the Bible has been that it is itself the living and active word of God. In this book Timothy Ward explains and defends what we are truly saying when we accept as true with and proclaim, as we will have to, that the Bible is God’s word. In particular he describes the nature of the relationship between the living God and Scripture. He examines why, as a way to worship God faithfully, we wish to pay close attention to the Bible; why, as a way to be faithful disciples of Jesus, the Word-made-flesh, we wish to base our lives on the words of the Bible; and why, as a way to keep in step with the Holy Spirit, we wish to accept as true with and obey what the Bible says. Ward offers an understanding of the nature of Scripture under three main headings. A biblical outline shows that the words of the Bible form a significant a part of God’s action on the planet. A theological outline specializes in the relationship of Scripture with each of the persons of the Trinity. And a doctrinal outline examines the ‘attributes’ of Scripture. A final chapter explores some significant areas in which the doctrine of Scripture will have to be applied. Ward offers us an excellent, lucid exposition of the nature and function of Scripture, expressed in a form appropriate for the tweny-first century, grounded in the relevant scholarship, and standing firmily in line with the best of the theological traditions.
