2014 Readers' Choice Awards Honorable Mention
Preaching's Preacher's Guide to the Best Bible Reference for 2014
(Scripture/Hermeneutics) From John H. Walton, author of the bestselling Lost
World of Genesis One, and D. Brent Sandy, author of Plowshares and Pruning
Hooks, comes a detailed look at the origins of scriptural authority in ancient
oral cultures and how they inform our understanding of the Old and New
Testaments today.
Stemming from questions about scriptural inerrancy,
inspiration and oral transmission of ideas, The Lost World of Scripture
examines the process by which the Bible has come to be what it is today.
From
the reasons why specific words were used to convey certain ideas to how oral
tradition impacted the transmission of biblical texts, the authors seek to
uncover how these issues might affect our current doctrine on the authority of
Scripture.
"In this book we are exploring ways God chose to reveal his
word in light of discoveries about ancient literary culture," write Walton
and Sandy.
"Our specific objective is to understand better how both the
Old and New Testaments were spoken, written and passed on, especially with an
eye to possible implications for the Bible’s inspiration and
authority."
