PRAISE FOR
THE LOST WORLD OF SCRIPTURE
ldquoExciting discoveries are occurring in the
field of biblical studies providing insights
for the interpretation of biblical textsWalton and Sandy discuss some of these
findingsmdashspecifically how the oral culture
and the biblical literature proceeding from it
were not concerned with reporting events
with a modern idea of precision This
finding touches directly on the doctrine of
biblical inerrancy While both authors hold the doctrine of biblical inerrancy
they contend that the term lsquoinerrancyrsquo may
have become inadequate for defining lsquoour
convictions about the robust authority of
Scripturersquo and propose alternate language
for discussing biblical authorityrdquo

of Scripture [Walton and Sandy] fully

Scripture enriched and their love for God

PRAISE FOR
THE LOST WORLD OF SCRIPTURE
ldquoExciting discoveries are occurring in the
field of biblical studies providing insights
for the interpretation of biblical textsWalton and Sandy discuss some of these
findingsmdashspecifically how the oral culture
and the biblical literature proceeding from it
were not concerned with reporting events
with a modern idea of precision This
finding touches directly on the doctrine of
biblical inerrancy While both authors hold the doctrine of biblical inerrancy
they contend that the term lsquoinerrancyrsquo may
have become inadequate for defining lsquoour
convictions about the robust authority of
Scripturersquo and propose alternate language
for discussing biblical authorityrdquo

ldquoFirm advocates of the high authority
of Scripture [Walton and Sandy] fully
