The Marks of Scripture: Rethinking the Nature of the Bible

by Daniel Castelo, Robert W. Wall

This volume written by a theologian and a biblical scholar offers a fresh model for understanding Scripture as God's Word. The authors work out the four Nicene marks of the church--one, holy, catholic, and apostolic--as marks of Scripture, offering a new way of thinking about the Bible that bridges theology and interpretation. Their ecclesial analogy invites us to think of Scripture in similar terms to how we think of the church, countering the incarnational model propagated by Peter Enns and others.

I love the scripture-church analogy. And organizing it around the marks of the church is a cool idea. But if you've already read Webster's "Holy Scripture," you won't find much here that isn't already dealt with there. And if you haven't already read Webster, his is the book you should be reading on this topic.
