From the rear cover

The author takes up the problem of the origins of the Christian Bible and its meaning for the Church today. Among the topics treated are the Christian use of Jewish Scriptures, the Roman Catholic and Protestant Old Testaments, the emergence of the New Testament, the struggle for the right interpretation of the Scriptures, the problem of inspiration, and modern attempts to explain the Church's New Testament canon theologically. The book criticizes the historicist methods of interpretation and appeals to the rule of faith as the right norm for interpreting the Scriptures in the Church.
