Praise for this book

"[P]robing, provocative, insightful.This is a book of uncommon wisdom for all who read and love the Bible." -- Timothy George, Dean of Beeson Divinity School of Samford University and Executive Editor of Christi
[P]robing, provocative, insightful This is a book of uncommon wisdom for all who read and love the Bible. --Timothy George, Dean of Beeson Divinity School of Samford University and Executive Editor of Christianity Today
The best book of its kind available. --The Christian Century
The whole book gives further cause for gratitude for God s gift of Wright to his Church. --ANVIL
Wright is a provocative theologian... there is so much here that you will wish that it were longer-- but its brevity makes for easy reading and it certainly deserves to be read. --Church of England Newspaper
In a fashion that is both old fashioned and new fangled at the same time Bishop Wright takes us through a sane and helpful study of what it means to treat the Bible as the authoritative Word of God. Highly Recommended! --Ben Witherington, author of The Brother of Jesus
Written by one of the leading Christian thinkers in the world today, this book is a refreshing and accessible resource concerning the perennial question of biblical authority that moves the discussion beyond the liberal-conservative impasse of our times. Highly Recommended. --John R. Franke, Professor of Theology, Biblical Theological Seminary
N. T. Wright opens for us a path beyond of the paralyzing polarization of liberal and conservative. --Brian McLaren, author of A New Kind of Christian
Scripture and the Authority of God is a fabulous book. With characteristic verve and occasionally pungent grace Scripture and the Authority of God could be the beginning of a more faithful listening, as well as sustaining more fruitful conversation about the nature of biblical interpretation. --Books&Culture
Wright appeals to the reader to take another look at the Bible, not as an isolated phenomenon a veritable rule book similarly applicable at all times and in all places but rather as a book better placed within both the contemporary cultural context and as part of a larger tradition of interpretation. --Explorefaith.org
This wide-ranging whirlwind-tour account of Scripture channeling God s authority, with its tweaking of distortions back into shape and its first-class approach to Bible study, is masterly throughout. --J. I Packer, Professor of Theology, Regent College
Wright offers sensible insights on the transforming power of God, very necessary in these times of skepticism and confusion. --Publishers Weekly
