The Once and Future Scriptures: Exploring the Role of the Bible in the Contemporary Church

Gregory C. Jenks

4.9/5 (9039 ratings)

Description:Can we learn to take the Bible seriously without taking it literally, to be honest about its historical, literary and religious character? Can the Bible serve as a source of faith, hope, and wisdom? In this book, academic theologians engage in a public conversation about the kind of Bible we have. This is not a book of answers, but a dialogue about topics such as the relationship between science and religion, the authority of scripture, and the impact of critical biblical scholarship on liturgy.“The seven essays in this collection, written by biblical scholars, theologians, and pastors, bring biblical theology into conversation with contemporary pastoral issues such as liturgy, formation for ministry, the Bible as a normative source for other theology, and the challenge posed by new science. This is a book not of answers, but of dialogue. It seeks to remedy the fragmentation of so much theological and pastoral thinking today. Though it was written for Anglicans in Australia, Christians of other denominations throughout the world struggle with the same questions and can benefit from the insights found here. The writing is crisp, the ideas are down-to-earth. This is a book that will appeal to a general audience.” —The Bible Today, July 2013We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
