Author Craig D. Allert encourages more evangelicals to ask that question. In \u003ci\u003eA High View of Scripture?\u003c\/i\u003e Allert introduces his audience to the diverse history of the canon's development and what impact it has today on how we view Scripture. Allert affirms divine inspiration of the Bible and, in fact, urges the very people who proclaim the ultimate authority of the Bible to be informed about how it came to be. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book, the latest in the Evangelical \u003ci\u003eRessourcement \u003c\/i\u003eseries, will be valuable as a college or seminary text and for readers interested in issues of canon development and biblical authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Evangelical \u003ci\u003eRessourcement \u003c\/i\u003eseries is grounded in the belief that there is a wealth of theological, exegetical, and spiritual resources from the patristic era that is relevant for the Christian church today and into the future. Amid the current resurgence in interest in the early church, this series aims to help church thinkers and leaders reappropriate these ancient understandings of Christian belief and practice and apply them to ministry in the twenty-first century. \u003ci\u003eA High View of Scripture?\u003c\/i\u003e is the third volume in the series.

This book's convincing argument is also an opportunity for evangelicals to reassert the centrality of both church and tradition and to take both much more seriously than has often been the case. The vigor and erudition with which Allert locates the New Testament in the ecclesial context of the tradition puts evangelicalism firmly in his debt.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eHans Boersma\u003c\/b\u003e, Regent College; author of \u003ci\u003eViolence, Hospitality, and the Cross \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"An informed and coherent account of the issues involved in the formation of the canon. \u003ci\u003eA High View of Scripture?\u003c\/i\u003e is a timely and nuanced critique of the anachronistic approach to canon studies adopted by too many evangelical scholars. It will surely be a valuable aid in helping evangelicals understand and value ever more deeply the wonder and authority of the Holy Spirit, the Scripture, and the church itself.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eChristopher A. Hall\u003c\/b\u003e, associate editor, Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Allert asks how it is possible to have a 'high view' of Scripture if it is detached from the realities of the origin and formation of the Bible. This volume has the potential of opening up a useful dialogue among evangelicals on the origin and nature of Scripture and its relation to contemporary theological issues. I commend this book to pastors, students, and biblical scholars who want a challenging discussion of these important issues.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eLee Martin McDonald\u003c\/b\u003e, Acadia Divinity College\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCraig D.
