Query: The Authority of the Bible by Robert Gnuse

The author provides theories of inspiration about the Bible, including Revelation and the Canon of Scripture, from a Roman Catholic as well as Ecumenical (other Christian faiths) views. The development of Scripture is discussed, according to five different models - according to which Biblical authority may be classified, i.e. (1)Inspiration (2) Holy History (3)Existential (4)Christological and (5)Models of Limitation. For me as a student of God's Word, the Bible, this book was a good introduction to the basic issues of the Bible, and the ways in which Christians throughout the ages view the Bible as authoritative.
