A denial of the sufficiency of Scripture is at the core of almost every form of opposition to the Christian faith today. Scripture Alone is written to instill a passionate love for and understanding of the Bible. In this defense of God's inspired Word, readers will comprehend what "God's Word"is, the nature of Scripture, the relationship of the Bible to tradition, how to apply Scripture to today's issues, and much more. Included is a faith-inspiring study of the canon--what it is and where it came from.

“O exegeză slabă sau eronată înseamnă că nu vom auzi ceea ce a spus Dumnezeu, ci, într-o oarecare măsură, vom clasifica mesajul cu gânduri omenești, tradiții sau alți înlocuitori pământești pe care îi aducem în esența divină a adevărului lui Dumnezeu”.
“Dar eu cred cu adevărat ca singura dovadă reală și solidă a activității Duhului Sfânt nu este reprezentată de experiențele spirituale strălucitoare pe termen scurt, ci de viața pe termen lung: “am reușit să trec prin rutina zilnică timp de 30 de ani și am rămas credincios în ciuda unui milion de obstacole”, adică ceva ce rezistă până la sfârșit și Îl glorifică pe Dumnezeu.
