Biblical Studies

Picking up where the companion volume Scripture and Truth left off, top evangelical scholars continue their well-reasoned defense of the integrity of Scripture. Among the questions addressed are:

• What are the true limits of the biblical canon? Does the diversity of Scripture's literary forms undermine its ability to present absolute truth?

Should the New Testament writers' use of the

Old Testament provide a model for interpreters

today?

Is the evangelical doctrine of inerrancy a recent innovation developed in reaction to the Enlighten- ment?

In the words of the editors, Hermeneutics, Authority, and Canon will "bolster confidence in evangelical convictions and provide a platform from which to engage other questions now under debate, arising from the influence of postmodernist thought upon biblical studies."
