Canon, Covenant and Christology: Rethinking Jesus and the Scriptures of Israel - Paperback

by Matthew Barrett (Author), D. A. Carson (Other)

The divine inspiration of Scripture may be confidently affirmed from Paul's epistles. However, it is hard to find such an explicit approach from Jesus and the Gospels. In this NSBT volume, Matthew Barrett argues that Jesus and the apostles have just as convictional a doctrine of Scripture as Paul or Peter, but it will only be discovered if the Gospels are read within their own canonical horizon and covenantal context.
