How does the Bible as a whole fit together?
How should we read it theologically - and as literature?
Are the manuscripts reliable? How do they relate to archaeology?
When and how was the canon of Scripture formed?
What is the Septuagint?
How does the New Testament quote from and interpret the Old Testament?
Such questions are the focus of this collection of concise studies on the nature and content of the Bible.
Useful as both a general overview and as a tool for more specific reference and training, this volume will help readers to grow in their understanding of Scripture and their ability to apply it to their lives.
Pastors, church leaders, students, and other Christians engaged in studying and teaching God’s Word will benefit from these studies, originally featured as articles in the ESV Study Bible and written by notable contributors, including John Piper, J. I. Packer, David Powlison, Vern Poythress, Peter J. Williams and Roger Beckwith.
