Standing At The Beginning Of The Third Millennium, the call to draw biblical interpretation back into the heart of the church is being sounded. The Bible and its interpretation belong to the church. Gerald Bray has written this comprehensive guide to the history of biblical interpretation out of the conviction that biblical interpretation and Christian doctrine go hand in hand. His account is history with a clear message. Seminarians, pastors, teachers and lay leaders who are committed to the life and health of the church will welcome this instructive guide to the high points as well as the impasses of biblical interpretation. This book is a distinctive, multiplex textbook that is evangelical in perspective but ecumenical in both its historical breadth and its vision of the future. |
