The Marks of Scripture
What is the Bible and what is it for? In recent years, the nature of Scripture
has often been described in terms of a Chalcedonian incarnational analogy: just
as Jesus is both human and divine, so Scripture is both human and divine. And
the function of Scripture has been understood as informative: it imparts
information to humans about God. These ways of looking at Scripture are not
wholly sufficient, however, for teaching us what the Bible is and what we
should expect it to do.
Written by a theologian and a biblical scholar, The Marks of Scripture offers a
fresh model for understanding Scripture as God's Word. Daniel Castelo and
Robert Wall show that Scripture is not simply informative (an account of what
God has done), it is also formative--a statement of what God is doing today and
an instrument God uses in the ongoing work of the sanctification and equipping
of believers. The authors work out the four Nicene marks of the church--one,
holy, catholic, and apostolic--as marks of Scripture, offering a new way of
thinking about the Bible that bridges theology and interpretation. Their
ecclesial analogy invites us to think of Scripture in similar terms to how we
think of the church, countering the incarnational model propagated by Peter
Enns and others.
