[SR: 2595773], Paperback, [EAN: 9781882542772], Foundations Press, Foundations Press, Book, [PU: Foundations Press], Foundations Press, What is the Word of God to you? Is it an exquisite object to be placed upon a pedestal and admired? Is it a fetish or charm to be enshrined for man's worship and veneration? We are living in a day where more and more people know of the Bible's existence while fewer and fewer are believing and trusting it to be the very source of their daily living. Contemporary Christianity has entered into the era of Postmodernism firmly believing that the days of the absoluteness of Scripture are over. The call now is to leave the authority of the Bible and seek more the experiences of human subjectivity. The rise of Neo-orthodoxy at the turn of the twentieth century opened a world of doubt and rejection concerning the literality of the Scriptures. Such teaching declared that if a scripture speaks to you personally, only then does it become the Word of God. As a result, man has placed himself into the realm of creating "The Word," and therefore an existential faith. Regardless of man's response, it must be eternally affirmed that the Bible is the Word of God, and true Faith only comes by hearing the Word of God. In Isaiah 34:16 the prophet calls upon his audience to "Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read." This must be the cry of the remnant at this time in Church history, for only the message of the Bible can declare the truth about God. We must tenaciously respond to the words of Joshua 1:8, "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success." It is with the hope of assisting the Christian as a student of the Word that this Bible survey of the canon of Scripture is sent forth. May we ever "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me" (John 5:39). --from the cover, 1000, Subjects, 1, Arts & Photography, 2, Biographies & Memoirs, 3, Business & Money, 3248857011, Calendars, 4, Children's Books, 12290, Christian Books & Bibles, 4366, Comics & Graphic Novels, 5, Computers & Technology, 6, Cookbooks, Food & Wine, 48, Crafts, Hobbies & Home, 8975347011, Education & Teaching, 173507, Engineering & Transportation, 301889, Gay & Lesbian, 10, Health, Fitness & Dieting, 9, History, 86, Humor & Entertainment, 10777, Law, 17, Literature & Fiction, 173514, Medical Books, 18, Mystery, Thriller & Suspense, 20, Parenting & Relationships, 3377866011, Politics & Social Sciences, 21, Reference, 22, Religion & Spirituality, 23, Romance, 75, Science & Math, 25, Science Fiction & Fantasy, 4736, Self-Help, 26, Sports & Outdoors, 28, Teen & Young Adult, 5267710011, Test Preparation, 27, Travel, 283155, Books<
