Synopsis

How to use the Bible faithfully in theology, with honesty and clarity
This work argues for a principled method: treat the Scriptures as they are and measure every idea by their true value. It shows how modern scholarship and long-standing belief can meet in a thoughtful, Christian approach to theological truth. The book invites readers to examine how the Bible contributes to our understanding of God, humanity, and the biblical message itself.

In clear, accessible language, it discusses what the Bible can and cannot claim for theology, and why the “Christian element” should guide our use of Scripture. It emphasizes honesty, intellectual humility, and the freedom to think within a faithful framework, so readers can build theology that rests on God rather than on a sole reliance on the text alone.

• Understand what it means to use the Bible as a trustworthy source for theology


• Explore how to distinguish Christian truth from non-Christian material in Scripture


• Learn how modern study and long-held beliefs can be reconciled in a constructive way


• Discover practical guidance for pastors, teachers, and serious readers of theology

Ideal for students, teachers, and thoughtful readers seeking a careful, faith-centered approach to scriptural authority in theology.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
