Contents:
Introduction. Reorienting the hermeneutical approach to Jesus and the scriptures of Israel -- Divine authorial intent, canonical unity and the Christological presuppositions of biblical theology -- The book of the covenant and canon consciousness -- The scripture must be fulfilled : the Matthean witness (case study 1) -- The ultimate fulfillment and self-disclosure of God, the Word made flesh : the Johannine witness (case study 2) -- Living by every word from the mouth of God : what Christ's covenant obedience to the scriptures says about the scriptures -- The Word became flesh : from Christology to canon -- Is our doctine of scripture Christological enough? : the future of inerrancy and the necessity of dogmatics.
Summary: "The divine inspiration of Scripture may be confidently affirmed from Paul's epistles. However, it is hard to find such an explicit approach from Jesus and the Gospels. In this NSBT volume, Matthew Barrett argues that Jesus and the apostles have just as convictional a doctrine of Scripture as Paul or Peter, but it will only be discovered if the Gospels are read within their own canonical horizon and covenantal context"-- Provided by publisher.
