Synopsis

A Clear and Concise Exploration of the Christian Doctrine of Scripture The Bible is the written word of the living God. He speaks through this word, working in and through human agents as he reveals himself to his people. His word is trustworthy, yet many Christians struggle to articulate why they believe that to be true. Centered in the words of Scripture and especially the teaching of Jesus himself, this volume unpacks the doctrine of Scripture as taught by the church through the ages, helping to strengthen readers’ confidence in God’s word. Despite the challenges that are often leveled against the Bible, Thompson clearly articulates what Jesus taught about the Scriptures, how God speaks to his people through the written word, the crucial work of the Holy Spirit to apply the word, and the vital attributes of Scripture―its clarity, truthfulness, sufficiency, and efficacy. Readers will find encouragement to walk according to the word and to delight in the God who speaks. Concise and Accessible: Intended for use by church members and leaders as well as those in academic contexts Christ-Centered: Rooted in Jesus’s own words about the Old Testament and his commissioning of the apostles who would go on to write the New Testament Addresses Common Questions: Answers challenges about the Bible’s clarity, truthfulness, sufficiency, and efficacy

What Jesus said about the Bible is what those who follow him should say about it too. This book surveys essentially everything Jesus says about scripture, helping the Christian to fix their eyes on their Lord to teach them how to read the book that points to him.

Goodreads review by Jake on September 14, 2023

Loved this short (186pp) book. I’m willing to say this was the most helpful book on the doctrine of scripture that I’ve read. Brought in some elements I was unfamiliar with. Overall, really clear and encouraging. I’ll be checking out more from this series— and this will be the Scripture book that I......more
