In Scripture and the Authority of God, Tom Wright argues that God is the ultimate source of all authority, and that God"s authority is not primarily about providing the right answers to disputed questions, but about God"s sovereign, saving purposes being declared and accomplished through Jesus and the Spirit. This revised and expanded edition includes two helpful case studies, looking at what it means to keep Sabbath and at how Christians can defend martial monogamy. These studies not only offer bold biblical insights but also demonstrate the indispensable role of scripture as the primary resource for teaching and guidance in the Christian life.
