Holy Scripture: Revelation, Inspiration & Interpretation (Christian Foundations)

Rating:
Summary: Readable
Review: I enjoyed this book -- part 2 of a 7 part series on systematic theology. Bloesch represents a "progressive evangelical" approach and sees inerrancy limited to the overall intention of Scripture. I would have appreciated a greater discussion of the Warfield/Hodge approach to Scripture. While Bloesch argues that Scripture does not teach historical inerrancy, Warfield makes a good case that it does -- based on Scripture's own teaching. Bloesch should spend a little more time on traditional arguments. There is just too much concern with Barth, Brunner, Bultmann (a whole chapter!), etc.
