Book Description
The basic contention of this forthright and challenging study is that inerrancy and infallibility apply only to God and to his Son, Jesus Christ. Inasmuch as scripture has been given, transmitted, and interpreted through human channels, it is bound to bear the marks of that humanity. Nevertheless, God is not restricted by this self-imposed limitation. Scripture is sufficiently accurate and trustworthy to accomplish his purpose because the Holy Spirit drives home God's message with authority. The claims of biblical inerrancy or infallibility, Beegle believes, stem from insecurity. But scripture, understood properly, does not make such claims for itself; and most certainly a dynamic church characterized by confident preaching of the gospel has no need to go beyond the Bible to lend it such feeble defenses. - Cover.

Disarming Scripture
Author: Derek Flood
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780692307267
Category : Bible
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
A GOD OF LOVE AND GENOCIDE? For many Christians the problem of violence in Scripture can result in a crisis of faith--especially when we see how such passages have been used throughout history to justify horrific bloodshed in God's name. Moving beyond typical conservative and liberal approaches, which seek to either defend or whitewash over violence in the Bible, Disarming Scripture takes a surprising yet compelling approach: Learning to read the Bible like Jesus did. Along the way the book deals with some very big issues, ranging from passages commanding genocide and infanticide in the Old Testament to passages in the New Testament that have been used to justify slavery, child abuse, and state violence. The take-away is an approach to Scripture that not only sees questioning as an acceptable part of a healthy faith, but as an absolutely essential part of it.
