NSBT 21: A Clear and Present Word

The Clarity of Scripture.By almost any measure, a bold and
confident use of the Bible is a hallmark of Christianity. Underlying such use
are a number of assumptions about the origin, nature and form of the biblical
literature, concerning its authority, diversity and message. However, a lack of
confidence in the clarity or perspicuity of Scripture is apparent in Western
Christianity. Despite recent, sophisticated analyses, the doctrine is ignored
or derided by many. While there is a contemporary feel to these responses, the
debate itself is not new. In this excellent study, Mark Thompson surveys past
and present objections to the clarity of Scripture; expounds the living God as
the Guarantor of his accessible, written Word; engages with the hermeneutical
challenges; and restates the doctrine for today. (= 083082622X
/ 9780830826223)'Thompson's clearly written articulation of the
clarity of Scripture will help many people think about these matters
knowledgeably, crisply, faithfully, pointedly. The purpose is to handel
Scripture itself with greater wisdom and confidence.' - D.A.
