Synopsis

How can an evangelical view of Scripture be reconciled with modern biblical scholarship? In this book Peter Enns, an expert in biblical interpretation, addresses Old Testament phenomena that challenge traditional evangelical perspectives on Scripture. He then suggests a way forward, proposing an incarnational model of biblical inspiration that takes seriously both the divine and the human aspects of Scripture.

Goodreads review by John on December 10, 2017

I appreciated this book, its tone and approach. It seemed the main point made was the one made by C.S Lewis in the chapter Scripture from his Reflection on the Psalms.
