Sommario/riassunto

Leading theologians speak out on the crisis in the role of biblical authority and the interpretation of the Bible in the church.'The various chapters in this excellent book, summarized as to leading themes by editors in the introduction, originated as conference papers which addressed the question: can the Bible still speak to the Church in an age of critical historical awareness? It is a book which will repay careful reading by all those concerned to maintain or restore an integral



connection between Bible and Church while retaining also a personal integrity of intellect and spirit.
