Paperback / 176 pages

A user-friendly narrative of the formation of the doctrine
of Scripture in the modern age, interspersed with primary
source materials. Covers modern challenges to three main
subject areas: the authority, sufficiency, & interpretation of Scripture.

Belief in the Bible as God’s authoritative revelation to
humanity forms the bedrock of the Christian faith, laying
the groundwork for nearly everything in the practice of
theology. For the last 150 years or so, this doctrine has
been put under the microscope of the modern age, with focused
attention—and criticism—falling on three main subject areas:
the authority of Scripture, the sufficiency of Scripture,
& the interpretation of Scripture.

"Ancient Word, Changing Worlds" tells the story of these
developments in the doctrine of Scripture in the modern
age, combining in one volume both narrative chapters and
chapters devoted to primary source materials. This new genre
of historical theology will appeal to general readers, who
will be drawn in by the book’s prose style, and students,
who will benefit from features like timelines, charts,
explanations of key terms, and introductions and explanatory
notes for the primary source documents.
