What do you believe the Bible is? How do you know what it means? How can you know that it’s true? Solidly grounded in a Trinitarian perspective, this broadly comprehensible book crafts an approach to interpreting the bible that is consistent with its teaching and worldview. Poythress has provided the church with an intelligent, understandable tool for mining the truths of God’s word.
