This is a book about the Book.
Not just a book, but
the
Book -- the written Word of God, the only infallible rule of truth and
practice for our lives. Sadly, that distinction is necessary, because
there are many who question whether the Bible deserves to be called the
Book, or whether it is just a book -- a very special book, to be sure,
but not the Book that perfectly illumines all things. And the more they
chip away at the full confidence that believers must have in the
trustworthiness of Scripture, the more they rob its Author of the glory
that his Word displays and demands. What's worse is that more and more
of these attacks are coming from those who claim to be believers
themselves.
Here the Author's glory is explored by unfolding the richness and perfection of
the Bible. In essays collected from the best addresses on the subject,
eight of the top pastor-scholars of the past thirty years share their
insight and answers on: knowing God, the sufficiency of God's Word, the
truth of God, scripture alone, God's word in the church, the
accessibility of God's Word, the power of God's Word, and preaching as
means of revival.
Together, they issue a clarion call for the
church to return to its central, longstanding, and vital conviction that
the Bible is the Book -- the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of
God.
