Sinopsis

The Bible is continually under attack: Is it really the Word of God? Isn't the Bible full of mistakes and contradictions? Can't you interpret the Bible to make it say whatever you want? Didn't a fourth century church council decide which books went into the Bible and which were rejected? Wasn't the Bible copied and translated so many times that we can't know what was originally written? Even more subtle are the attempts by some to add to Scripture or to water down its teachings.Even sincere Christians have many questions about the Bible: Is the Bible our final and only authority? Which Bible translation is the best for me to read? How do we go about reading the Bible? How do we apply it to our lives today?There are good reasons for believing that the Bible really is the Word of God. Even the attacks on Scripture perform a helpful service: they force us to think more deeply and clearly about the Bible, giving us convincing reasons to read and obey God's Word.

Críticas

There can be few more fundamental issues for Christianity than the trustworthiness and authority of scripture. In recent times the diversity and intensity of attacks on the Bible have been increasing. This contribution is therefore timely, and the author deals comprehensively with the subject. The book is well presented, and written in an engaging style with clear section headings to break up the text. Major chapters address such matters as: why the Bible is truly the word of God; what is meant by the inspiration of scripture; Christ's view of scripture; the sufficiency of scripture; guidelines for the interpretation of scripture; the canon of scripture; 'which Bible version should I read?', etc. Importantly, Wilson highlights the inconsistency of confessing Jesus Christ as the divine Lord and at the same time conceding that He could have been mistaken as to the accuracy and authority of scripture. The bewildering plethora of modern translations is discussed and the specialist discipline of textual criticism is introduced. Its importance is explained, thus clarifying one reason why Bible versions differ - they are not at every point reflecting the same underlying original text. On the other hand, the author emphasises the 'embarrassment of riches' available to modern Bible translators, over against the erroneous and destructive conclusions that some have drawn from the large number of manuscript variations. In a day when many possess Bibles which they rarely read, the final chapter helpfully gives important practical guidance on how to approach and sustain the daily reading of the Bible for personal spiritual profit. Throughout, Wilson interacts with a wide cross-section of past writers who have addressed this subject. The student will find many useful pointers for further reading. Here then is a book to rebut negative criticism, and to reassure believers that they can have complete confidence in the Bible as fully trustworthy. It deserves to achieve a wide circulation. Whilst the focus is on English translations of the Bible, the major lessons of the book are readily applicable to other languages and versions. Anyone concerned to arrive at an intelligent appreciation of the solid foundations of the Christian faith will benefit from this book. Ken Totton, Precious Seed Magazine

Wasn't the Bible copied and translated so many times that we can't know what was originally written? Even more subtle are the attempts by some to add to Scripture or to water down its teachings.

Even sincere Christians have many questions about the Bible: Is the Bible our final and only authority? Which Bible translation is the best for me to read? How do we go about reading the Bible? How do we apply it to our lives today?

There are good reasons for believing that the Bible really is the Word of God. Even the attacks on Scripture perform a helpful service: they force us to think more deeply and clearly about the Bible, giving us convincing reasons to read and obey God's Word.
