Publisher Description
In this revised and expanded edition of The Last Word, Wright, Bishop of Durham, one of the preeminent Bible scholars of our day and author of such beloved works as After You Believe and Simply Christian, gives new life to the old, tattered doctrine of the authority of Scripture, delivering a fresh, helpful, and concise statement on the current battles for the Bible; and restoring Scripture as a place to find God's voice. Removing the baggage that the last hundred years of controversy and confusion have placed on this doctrine, he renews readers; confidence in the Bible, and shows that the Bible can still be a guide for their lives. This updated version includes two new case studies, taking a closer look at what it means to keep the Sabbath holy, and also how Christians can defend marital monogamy in modern society.

"This book is a new edition of an earlier book called "The Last Word." But it includes 2 new excursuses: one on sabbath, the other on monogamy. Even if you own the first edition of this title, those two additional essays are worth the price of buying this new edition of the book. "

" Great book about why and how Scripture has authority. A very refreshing take on an old subject. "

" I read the previous version of this book, The Last Word. I enjoy Wright's perspective when compared to some of the more conservative evangelical theologians I have read. It is refreshing. "
