Clear and Present Word- A : 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.
