Encountering the Living God in Scripture

This work gives a philosophical and theological account of the belief that
Scripture enables people to encounter the life-giving reality of God. The
authors examine the biblical foundations for this belief as given in a variety
of witnesses from both Testaments and explain the philosophical and theological
underpinnings of Christian exegesis. What results is a contemporary statement
of the traditional belief that Scripture can put its readers in transforming
contact with the living God.
Encountering the Living God in Scripture sums up and makes accessible the
teaching of revered senior scholar and teacher Francis Martin. Aimed squarely
at students, the book assumes no advanced training in philosophy or theology
and will work well in Bible, interpretation, and doctrine of Scripture courses.
