Is the Bible infallible or inerrant, as some churches claim? Is it a historical document or a piece of literature, as some scholars suggest? This book offers a brief introduction to the question of biblical authority, using essays written by sixteen scholars who use the Bible as the Word of God in their own religious tradition and in their scholarship. Beginning with an introduction to the foundational issues of biblical authority, these scholars each present a different, but sympathetic, view of the Bible from his or her own perspective and experience. Their voices include traditional Reformed, Lutheran, Wesleyan, Catholic, Jewish, and Orthodox views; recent conservative or evangelical positions; and critical African American, Asian American, Hispanic, feminist, and womanist perspectives. --From publisher's description.

In biblical times, Jesus spoke about believers performing "greater works" after he died for their sins. Now, the manifestation of Jesus' words requires that Christians walk in the authority that God has granted to each and every one of us. In this motivational guide, Dr. William L. Sheals shows believers how to use their gifts, treasures, time, and talents to accomplish those greater works and realize Jesus' prophecy. Walking in Authority teaches and inspires believers to confidently act upon the word of God. Dr. Sheals shares practice, biblical, and modern-day examples of others who have boldly assumed the power of enforcement, to challenge us to spread God's message and reclaim the territory the enemy has stolen. With simple but powerful lessons and tools for practical application in our lives and relationships, these stories and characters will strengthen our walk and bring us closer to the Father. Whether we take big ones or little, the important thing to remember is that every great voyage begins with a single step. Start walking in authority today, and set off on the journey of a lifetime.
