In this book Timothy Ward explains and defends what we are really saying when we trust and proclaim, as wemust, that the Bible is God's word. In particular he describes the nature of the relationship between the living God and Scripture. He examines why, in order to worship God faithfully, we need to pay close attention to the Bible; why, in order to befaithful disciples of Jesus, the Word-made-flesh, we need to base our lives on the words of the Bible; and why, in order to keep in step with the Holy Spirit, we need to trust and obey what the Bible says.Ward offers an understanding of the nature of Scripture under three main headings. A \u003ci\u003ebiblical\u003c\/i\u003e outline shows that the words of the Bible form a significant part of God's action in the world. A \u003ci\u003etheological\u003c\/i\u003e outline focuses on the relationship of Scripture with each of the persons of the Trinity. And a \u003ci\u003edoctrinal\u003c\/i\u003e outline examines the 'attributes' of Scripture. A final chapter explores some significant areas in which the doctrine of Scripture should be applied.Ward offers us an excellent, lucid exposition of the nature and function of Scripture, expressed in a form appropriate for the tweny-first century, grounded in the relevant scholarship, and standing firmly in line with the best of the theological traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTimothy Ward is Team Vicar at Holy Trinity Church, Hinckley, England.
