Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the Authority of Scripture: Historical, Biblical, and Theoretical Perspectives

by Carlos R. Bovell (Editor)

Conservative Protestant views of Scripture have not moved much beyond the fundamentalist-modernist controversies of the early twentieth century. Today, discussions must evolve and become transparently conversant with recent scholarly developments. Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the Authority of Scripture provides contemporary reflections on the most pressing challenges facing inerrancy today. Whatever your current position, this volume will deepen your understanding of the authority of Scripture.

[Alexandru Croitor · Rating 4 out of 5]

A collection of essays from various viewpoints that revolve around the subject of inerrancy and how it relates to "scripture's authority". Some were good (Brian Malley's "Biblical Authority -A Social Scientist’s Perspective", Telford Work's "Critical Dislocation and Missional Relocation - Scripture’s Evangelical Homecoming"), some were not that good.

I was mostly interested in the Historical/Theoretical perspective (generous bibliographical material), but I've skimmed some of the essays in "Biblical Perspectives".
