How to use the Bible faithfully in theology, with honesty and clarity
This work argues for a principled method: treat the Scriptures as they are and measure every idea by their true value. It shows how modern scholarship and long-standing belief can meet in a thoughtful, Christian approach to theological truth. The book invites readers to examine how the Bible contributes to our understanding of God, humanity, and the biblical message itself.

In clear, accessible language, it discusses what the Bible can and cannot claim for theology, and why the “Christian element” should guide our use of Scripture. It emphasizes honesty, intellectual humility, and the freedom to think within a faithful framework, so readers can build theology that rests on God rather than on a sole reliance on the text alone.
