Thy Word is Still Truth Hardback

Summary by John Frame: Since its founding in 1929, Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia has specialized in the doctrine of Scripture. Nearly everyone who has taught there over the years has made some contribution to the subject. The Westminster faculty published three collections of essays on Scripture: The Infallible Word (1946), Scripture and Confession (1973), and Inerrancy and Hermeneutic (1988). The present volume, however, is a contribution of a higher order. It not only republishes some of the best articles from the previous collections, but it contains important writings on biblical authority from the Reformation and post-reformation periods (including the churches' creedal statements) down to the present day. There are articles from the faculty of Old Princeton, from which Westminster takes its bearings, articles on controversial matters, articles describing the rationale for Westminster's distinctive emphasis on biblical theology. And the volume is honest in facing up to the recent controversy over Scripture at Westminster itself and the seminary's forthright response reaffirming biblical inerrancy. [...] The issue before the world today, as in the Garden of Eden, is "has God said?" I know of no body of literature that can be of more help to people wrestling with this vital question.
