Summary
What is the nature of the authority of Scripture, and in what sense does the Old Testament share that authority? What place does the Old Testament legitimately occupy in the Christian's Bible and in the church's proclamation? What principles ought to guide one in interpreting it to the congregation? These are the questions with which this book will attempt to deal, with what success the reader must judge. -- Foreword.
