Belief in the Bible as God's authoritative revelation tohumanity forms the bedrock of the Christian faith, laying thegroundwork for nearly everything in the practice of theology. Forthe last 150 years or so, this doctrine has been put under themicroscope of the modern age, with focused attention-andcriticism-falling on three main subject areas: the authority ofScripture, the sufficiency of Scripture, and the interpretation ofScripture. Ancient Word, Changing Worlds tells the story of thesedevelopments in the doctrine of Scripture in the modern age, combining in one volume both narrative chapters and chaptersdevoted to primary source materials. This new genre of historicaltheology will appeal to general readers, who will be drawn in bythe book's prose style, and students, who will benefit fromfeatures like timelines, charts, explanations of key terms, andintroductions and explanatory notes for the primary sourcedocuments.
