Such people, according to the author, insist that the critical method is basically hostile to the evangelical faith, and they have continued to oppose any use of it. Others, however, claiming the same heritage, believe that the orthodox interpretation of the Gospel can be defended positively and constructively only with the aid of a sound critical method and the results of critical scholarship. The author believes that an evangelical Biblical criticism is not only possible but necessary. The central thesis of his book is that ""the Bible is the Word of God given in the words of men in history"", and as such its historical origins must be reconstructed as far as possible. In this way a richer understanding of the Scriptures can be achieved.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">George Eldon Ladd</note> <subject> <topic>Bible. -- New Testament</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Bible -- Criticism</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">225.6</classification> <classification authority="ddc">L154-G35</classification> <identifier type="isbn">0802816800</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15228/37.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15228/37.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071444.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
