"Grant Osborne's 3 Crucial Questions about the Bible, which is a lay-level version of his Hermeneutical Spiral, comes to grips with a trio of issues that confront every serious student of the Bible. In compelling, down-to-earth language he stakes out positions with sturdy scholarly backbone." "Can we trust the Bible? Osborne begins with a strong case for the complete reliability of the Bible. He is not afraid to tackle some of its most problematic passages." "Can we understand the Bible? Contending that the message of Scripture is accessible to everyone willing to make an effort, Osborne proceeds to lay out a practical method that will enable the average layperson to engage in deep Bible study." "Can we get theology from the Bible? Finally, Osborne elucidates the tools that make it possible to discover the theology behind biblical passages. Every motivated Bible student can, he affirms, do theology with enjoyment and great benefit."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
