Carl E Braaten

Reclaiming the Bible for the Church Carl E Braaten

Brief Description: Leading theologians speak out on the crisis in the role of biblical authority and the interpretation of the Bible in the church. Review Quotes: "The various chapters in this excellent book, summarised as to leading themes by editors in the introduciton, orginated as conference papers which addressed the question: can the Bible still speak to the Church in an age of critical historical awareness? It is a book which will repay careful reading by all those concerned to maintain or restore an intergral connection between Bible and Church while retaining also a personal integrity of intellect and spirit. There are eight essays in all, each addressing the central question in its own unique manner."
