Summary

From J. I. Packer, beloved theologian and author of Knowing God, Truth and Power explores how the Bible should shape every aspect of Christian discipleship. In this time-tested and masterful overview of the doctrine of Scripture, Packer offers both lifelong believers and new Christians a thoughtful, personal guide to understanding Scripture's rightful place in the Christian life.

In Truth and Power, Packer

  • Explores the true place, use, and benefit of the Bible in the Christian life;
  • Examines Scripture's authority, methods of interpretation, and its role in preaching, the church, and the life of the individual believer;
  • Invites you to move from a shallow cultural Christianity to a vibrant faith that testifies to the truth and power of God's Word; and
  • Helps Christians rightly value the Bible and understand its necessity for spiritual health without elevating it to a place of idolatry.

This book shows how love for God's Word opens the door to spiritual life in Christ. Whether you're a longtime admirer of Packer's theological insights or discovering his wisdom for the first time, this newly republished edition encourages you to gain not only a better understanding of the place of the Bible but also a deeper love for it.
