Additional Information on Scripture and Hermeneutics Texts:

The syllabus will contain a bibliography of other works, but three texts are required:

(1) Topics: Canon, manuscript copying critical text versus ecclesiastical text (or who is in charge of the text, critical scholars or the church), how the NT came into existence, Apocrypha, translation theory, translations (with many examples and why so many translations today when the KJV served us well for over 300 years), history of English Bible:

Text: F. F. Bruce, The Canon of Scripture (Available at www.christianbook.com)

(2) Topics: Doctrine of Scripture (revelation, inspiration, illumination, manuscript divergence, Barthianism, infallibility, inerrancy, Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, state of the doctrine today)

Text:: Edited by Carl F. H. Henry, Revelation and the Bible: Contemporary Evangelical Thought (NOT the six-volume set, though it is a gem, but the single volume work with each chapter written by a different author; out of print but check Amazon.com, or Abebooks.com).

(3) Topics: Hermeneutics, how to interpret the Bible, literalism, dispensationalism, NT use of the OT, figures of speech, parables, reader response theory, feminism and the culture, Alexandrian and Augustus versus Antiochene and Chrysostom, etc.

Text: Gerald Bray, Biblical Interpretation: Past and Present. (Available at www.christianbook.com)
