Description: John Webster argues that, whereas any understanding of scripture must be subject to appropriate textual and historical interrogation, it is also necessary to acknowledge the special character of scriptural writing. His book strongly reaffirms that the triune God is at the core of a scripture-based Christianity. Written by a theologian who understands the currents of modern secular thought, the volume develops a constructive position on biblical authority.
