| Résumé : | The New York Times of March 14, 1982, in a front-page article describes the emergence of "mainstream evangelicals" as a major force in U. S. Protestantism. Citing Carl F. H. Henry, it lists first among the four challenges facing Evangelicals today the question of biblical authority. Scripture and Truth is a serious and competent contribution to dialogue and reflection on this important issue. |

A. Carson - UNITY AND DIVERSITY IN THE NEW TESTAMENT: THE POSSIBILITY OF SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY: This chapter presents a theoretical framework in which the interpreter of Scripture can responsibly handle the rich diversity of the biblical books while recognizing their individual and collective authority and unity. - Richard N. Longenecker - ON THE FORM, FUNCTION, AND AUTHORITY OF THE NEW TESTAMENT LETTERS: The author clarifies certain points regarding the impact of ancient literary forms and procedures on the authority claimed by and for the New Testament letters. - D. A. Carson - REDACTION CRITICISM: ON THE LEGITIMACY AND ILLEGITIMACY OF A LITERARY TOOL: In this chapter the author traces the roots of redaction criticism, outlines the critics' writings, and reviews weaknesses of the "tool.'' suggesting several guidelines for and limitations of its use, - Moisés Silva - THE NEW TESTAMENT USE OF THE OLD TESTAMENT: TEXT FORM AND AUTHORITY: Textual differences between Old Testament passages and New Testament quotations of them raise questions concerning biblical authority.

PART II: HISTORICAL ESSAYS - Philip Edgcumbe Hughes - THE TRUTH OF SCRIPTURE AND THE PROBLEM OF HISTORICAL RELATIVITY: Is it reasonable to expect the ancient writings composing the Bible to speak with power and relevance to the heart and mind of man in this age of unprecedented scientific progress? - Geoffrey W. Bromiley - THE CHURCH FATHERS AND HOLY SCRIPTURE: While tending to undervalue the human aspect of Scripture and to overestimate the church’s derivative authority, the Fathers stressed the divine origin of the canon, established its authority, and explored its proper interpretation. - W. Robert Godfrey - BIBLICAL AUTHORITY IN THE SIXTEENTH AND SEVENTEENTH CENTURIES: A QUESTION OF TRANSITION: This chapter examines the thought of Luther and Calvin, the Reformed confessions, Puritanism, and Protestant orthodoxy and shows the strong doctrinal continuity among them and their common commitment to biblical inerrancy. - John D. Woodbridge and Randall H. Bahner - THE PRINCETONIANS AND BIBLICAL AUTHORITY: AN ASSESSMENT OF THE ERNEST SANDEEN PROPOSAL: Sandeen suggested that A. A. Hodge and B. B. Warfield created the doctrine of biblical inerrancy in the original documents. However, their views reflect an already-existing widespread belief. This essay clarifies their role in the nineteenth centuty. PART III: THEOLOGICAL ESSAYS - Roger Nicole - THE BIBLICAL CONCEPT OF TRUTH: In this chapter the author presents a study of the language of the Old and New Testaments and shows that the full biblical concept of truth involves factually, faithfulness, and completeness. - Paul Helm FAITH, EVIDENCE, AND THE SCRIPTURES: With certain qualifications, the internal content and character of the Bible, rather than rational or empirical considerations of a more general kind, give proper persuasion that the Bible is the Word of God. - J. I. Packer - INFALLIBLE SCRIPTURE AND THE ROLE OF HERMENEUTICS: Hermeneutics, as the science of biblical interpretation, is central to the modern debate about Scripture. This chapter discusses correct hermeneutical procedure and criticizes modern Protestant alternatives. - Notes - Abbreviations - Index of Persons / Index of Subjects / Index of Scripture References |
