Walton and Sandy summarize what we know of orality and oral tradition as well as the composition and transmission of texts in the ancient Near East and the Greco-Roman world, and how this shapes our understanding of the Old and New Testaments. The authors then translate these insights into a helpful model for understanding the reliability of Scripture.

Praise for this book

"The Lost World of Scripture is clearly written and carefully reasoned; the authors have laid out the chapters in propositions to help readers follow the logical progression of the contents. Recommend this book especially to pastors, seminary and Bible college students, and other serious students of the Bible."--Daniel Johnson, CBA Retailers + Resources, December 2013
"[T]here is much to think about in this volume. I recommend it as a thoughtful reflection on the intricacies of an important doctrine."--Richard A. Taylor, Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society, 57-4
"Walton and Sandy are to be commended for giving significant time and thought to the theological implications of their propositions. Lost worlds are attractive to explorers for the wonders to be found there, and this book has the potential to help a wider audience find the joy of a scholarly and trusting reading of the Bible, rather than merely seeing the dangers of modern scholarship."--Lyndon Drake, Pacific Journal of Baptist Research, November 2014
