There is little doubt that the inerrancy of the Bible is a current and often contentious topic among evangelicals. Five Views on Biblical Inerrancy, A Video Study, alongside the Counterpoints volume Five Views on Biblical Inerrancy, showcases the spectrum of evangelical positions on inerrancy and facilitates understanding of these perspectives, particularly where and why they diverge.
Each main lesson in Five Views on Biblical Inerrancy, A Video Study considers:
<ul>
<li>the present context and the viability and relevance of inerrancy for contemporary Christian witness;</li>
<li>whether and to what extent Scripture teaches its own inerrancy;</li>
<li>the position's assumed/implied understandings of the nature of Scripture, God, and truth; and</li>
<li>three difficult biblical texts: one that implies intra-canonical contradictions, one that raises questions of theological plurality, and one that concerns historicity.</li>
</ul>
Five Views on Biblical Inerrancy, A Video Study serves not only as a resource for surveying the current debate, but also as a catalyst both for understanding and advancing the conversation further. Featuring scholars Al Mohler, Kevin Vanhoozer, Michael Bird, Peter Enns, and John Franke, lessons in the DVD provide viewers with the tools they need to draw informed conclusions on this debated issue.

The authors move past the Enlightenment foundational approach to offer a revolutionary methodology for doing theology in a postmodern age. Their method uses three sources: the Spirit speaking authoritatively through the biblical text, tradition providing a historical interpretive framework; and culture as context for constructive theological reflection.

This volume introduces readers to the life and thought of Karl Barth (1886-1968), one of the most important theologians since the Reformation era.

Written by experts but designed for the novice, the Armchair series provides accurate, concise, and witty overviews of some of the most profound moments and theologians in Christian history. These books are essential supplements for first-time encounters with primary texts, lucid refreshers for scholars and clergy, and enjoyable reads for the theologically curious.

"Noted theologian John Franke helps readers reenvision theology, showing that it flows from an understanding of the missional character and purposes of God"--

Missional Theology: An Introduction

Religion & Spirituality

Rooted in and advocating for a postmodern and postcolonial understanding of mission, Liberating Scripture is the first book-length study designed specifically to introduce readers to the emerging subfield of biblical interpretation known as missional hermeneutics. The authors provide a thoroughgoing overview of the background and development, rationale, terminology, and methodology of missional hermeneutics, doing for biblical interpretation what Missional Church (edited by Darrell Guder et al., 1998) did for reimagining the church in light of the missio Dei. As the initial volume in the new Studies in Missional Hermeneutics, Theology, and Praxis series, Liberating Scripture is a critical resource for study and practical application, and its accessibility will make it a go-to text for classrooms and congregations.
