The Doctrine of the Word of God (Theology of Lordship)

What is the Word of God, and how does it reach us? The question sounds simple but reaches to the very foundation of Christian thought. In The Doctrine of the Word of God, the fourth volume in his Theology of Lordship series, Frame offers a comprehensive account of how God communicates with his people: through Scripture, through the person of Christ, and through the ongoing ministry of the Holy Spirit. Together these modes of divine communication form a unified whole, God's controlling power, meaningful authority, and personal presence, extending from creation through redemption and into the consummation of all things. Frame engages the full range of modern theological debate about the nature and authority of Scripture, including questions about inspiration, inerrancy, canon, and interpretation, with the careful attention and biblical grounding that characterize his work throughout the series. He does not avoid the hard questions raised by contemporary biblical scholarship; he addresses them directly and systematically, always returning to the scriptural witness itself as the final and authoritative norm. For students, pastors, and theologians seeking a thorough and constructive Reformed account of the doctrine of Scripture, The Doctrine of the Word of God is an essential and richly rewarding volume.
