Evangelicals and the Problem of the Old Testament
Ratings4
Average rating3.9
How can an evangelical view of Scripture be reconciled with modern biblical scholarship? In this book Peter Enns, an expert in biblical interpretation, addresses Old Testament phenomena that challenge traditional evangelical perspectives on Scripture. He then suggests a way forward, proposing an incarnational model of biblical inspiration that takes seriously both the divine and the human aspects of Scripture. This tenth anniversary edition has an updated bibliography and includes a substantive postscript that reflects on the reception of the first edition.

Short Review: I think this is a useful book to read, especially with a group. I read this with some friends and had an email discussion about it. We each were struck by different parts. It will be controversial and some of the controversy is not necessary. A better editor and focus could have minimized some of the controversy, but certainly not all of it.
