| Résumé : |
“A General Introduction to the Bible fills a long-felt need for a single volume covering the inspiration, canonicity, text and translation of the entire Bible. The authors have written in a style which at the same time ap¬peals to the layman and the thoroughly advanced student. This book will no doubt become the standard work in its field for years to come.” (Dr. Howard F. Vos, Trinity College, Deerfield, Illinois)
Current, thorough and evangelical — these three words provide a concise, accurate description of this new and important volume. As a comprehensive resource book, A General Introduction to the Bible satisfies the exacting demands of its subject with erudite scholarship, unusual clarity of style, careful organization and completeness. The reliability and authority of the biblical record are investigated, defended and substantiated. Ancient writers are consulted and important quotations are reproduced in full. Archaeological findings are given their appropriate place of importance, and historical facts are significantly utilized. Inspiration, canonization and transmission of the biblical text are key subject areas under which are discussed such topics as Old and New Testament apocrypha and pseudepigrapha, the language of the Bible, translations, and modern English versions. A General Introduction to the Bible reaches into the past for the origin of the Bible and places before the reader numerous facts. Careful inquiry into modern attitudes relating to the Scriptures provides sharply defined answers to criticism which has sought to undermine the authority of the Bible. The authors have been careful to present a balanced study of this important subject, giving special emphasis to the findings of conservative scholarship. |
