Editorial Reviews

▼▲

Andrew Village is Reader in Practical and Empirical Theology at York St John University. His book, in SCM’s Learning Church: Theology for Discipleship and Ministry series, seems to me quite brilliant. It deals with all the great issues of biblical authority and inspiration through the metaphor of turning out an attic, in which we might find useful stuff, stuff we cannot identify, tricky stuff, and so on. This deserves to become a standard work for people getting into serious biblical study, whether from an academic or a “devotional” point of view: both are catered for. -- Church Times

It is an introduction to different questions and approaches that a Bible reader needs to have in mind in encountering this complex and difficult text, and it succeeds spectacularly in this aim. -- Church Times
