Scripture And The Authority Of God by N.T. Wright

How to Read the Bible Today

An accessible exploration of what it means to speak of the Bible’s authority, arguing that authority belongs to God and is exercised through Scripture as the grand narrative of God’s kingdom. It critiques both literalist rule‑book and relativist approaches, proposing a historically grounded, story‑shaped reading that centers on Jesus and the early church and is lived out in the community’s worship and mission. Emphasizing the interplay of the Spirit, tradition, and reason, it offers practical guidelines for faithful interpretation and application today, encouraging the church to improvise responsibly within the ongoing story.
