Holy Scripture - A Dogmatic Sketch

Informationen zum Autor John Webster is Professor of Systematic Theology, University of Aberdeen. He is the editor of the International Journal of Systematic Theology. Klappentext 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. Zusammenfassung This 2003 book is a loud reaffirmation of the triune God at the heart of a scripture-based Christianity! but it is written with intellectual rigour by a theologian who understands the currents of modern secular thought! and is able to work from them towards a constructive position on biblical authority.
