Description
The Lost World of Scripture: Ancient Literary Culture and Biblical Authority By John H. Walton and D. Brent Sandy This book explores how the Bible came to be what it is today, examining the process by which scriptural authority was established in ancient oral cultures. The authors investigate the reasons behind specific words being used to convey ideas and how oral tradition impacted the transmission of biblical texts. The Lost World Series brings a fresh approach to understanding the Hebrew text and ancient Near Eastern literature, using logic-based propositions to discuss biblical topics. By uncovering the ways God chose to reveal his word in light of discoveries about ancient literary culture, Walton and Sandy shed new light on the inspiration and authority of Scripture. By examining the origins of scriptural authority, this book provides valuable insights into how our current doctrine on the authority of Scripture might be affected.
