Holy Scripture: A Dogmatic Sketch
John Webster
(Author)
Description
John Webster argues that, whereas any understanding of scripture must be subject to appropriate textual and historical interrogation, it is also necessary to acknowledge the special character of scriptural writing. His book strongly reaffirms that the triune God is at the core of a scripture-based Christianity. Written with intellectual enthusiasm by a theologian who understands the currents of modern secular thought, the volume develops a constructive position on biblical authority.Product Details

Reviews
"[A] firecracker, primed to explode those pitiful suppositions about Scripture with which many biblical scholars and theologians 'from below' currently operate." C. Clifton Black, Princeton Theological Seminary, Theology Today
...this is a thought-provoking book by a mature theologian with a coherent thesis to defend. It cannot be skimmed; it must be read slowly and pondered, and there is much to gain from it." D.A. Carson, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Trinity Journal
