The Bible: Book for Today
Overview
The substance of this little book was given as a series of five sermons in All Souls Church, Langham Place, London, during February and March 1980. Much of the more sermonic sense of the writing style has been removed with additional explanation and discussion is provided that would have otherwise been inappropriate in the pulpit. Each chapter seeks to expound a biblical text, with the intent to lay out a incisive discussion for thoughtful lay people, who want to think seriously about the authority and relevance of the Bible. This is a basic book about the historic Christian attitude to Scripture, and about the Bible’s own understanding of itself, which need “to be re-stated in every generation, and which remain the essential perspective from which to grapple with other pressing problems.
