First sentence: Any truly systematic theology of Scripture that understands the Bible to be a means of God's presence becomes an exercise in disciplined but circular reflection.
Description: "For all of the Bible's popularity both in the church and in Western culture, confusion reigns about what the Bible is, its relationship to God, its relationship to its human authors and readers, and its proper use. Living and Active answers these fundamental questions by looking anew at Scripture from the perspective of Christian doctrine."--BOOK JACKET.
