Sinopsis
How to use the Bible faithfully in theology, with honesty and clarity
This work argues for a principled method: treat the Scriptures as they are and measure every idea by their true value. It shows how modern scholarship and long-standing belief can meet in a thoughtful, Christian approach to theological truth. The book invites readers to examine how the Bible contributes to our understanding of God, humanity, and the biblical message itself.
In clear, accessible language, it discusses what the Bible can and cannot claim for theology, and why the “Christian element” should guide our use of Scripture. It emphasizes honesty, intellectual humility, and the freedom to think within a faithful framework, so readers can build theology that rests on God rather than on a sole reliance on the text alone.
- Understand what it means to use the Bible as a trustworthy source for theology
- Explore how to distinguish Christian truth from non-Christian material in Scripture
- Learn how modern study and long-held beliefs can be reconciled in a constructive way
- Discover practical guidance for pastors, teachers, and serious readers of theology
Ideal for students, teachers, and thoughtful readers seeking a careful, faith-centered approach to scriptural authority in theology.

Excerpt from The Use of the Scriptures in Theology
These lectures were delivered before a school of Theology, but their purpose is popular, quite as much as it is professional. They are intended to serve as a help toward the right using of the Bible in present conditions, whether by students, by preachers, or by the people.
There is a widespread impression that modem studies upon the Bible tend to diminish, or even to destroy its value for the purposes of theology and religion. Against this impression these lectures utter a protest and offer reasons. The Bible continues to be the unspeakably precious treasure of Christendom, and will retain its place and power as the manual of Christianity and the book of God for men. But its place and power must be preserved through perfectly frank recognition of the facts concerning it, and use of it for exactly what it is. Modem study shows it to be in some important respects a different book from what it has been thought to be, and it is necessary that we learn to use it in a manner that corresponds to its character thus ascertained.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores how the role of the Bible in shaping Christian theology has transformed throughout history. The author argues that the traditional use of the Bible as an equal and infallible authority has become untenable in the light of modern scholarly research. This perspective has created a problem for theology, as it must now find a way to use the Bible that is both faithful to its historical context and relevant to the needs of the present day. The author offers a new understanding of the Bible's role, arguing that it should be used as a guide and inspiration rather than as a set of authoritative doctrines. By doing so, theology can break free from its reliance on outdated methods and embrace a more dynamic and responsive approach to the study of God and the Christian faith. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781331268765_0
