The Authority and Sufficiency of Scripture: Revised and Expanded

David S. Dockery and Malcolm B. Yarnell III, eds.

The Authority and Sufficiency of Scripture is a collection of essays written by 15 Southwestern Seminary and Texas Baptist College faculty members that collectively express confidence in Scripture in 14 different aspects of life and ministry.

In the preface, the editors explain that the book’s contents reflect the belief that “the Holy Bible speaks both with perfect authority and with perfect sufficiency into every aspect of the life of the people of God and into every aspect of the theological education which helps the people of God to know both God and His will for our lives. The inspiration of Scripture by the Spirit of God, who perfectly guided the prophets and apostles of the Old Testament and the New Testament to write their words, ensures those words are inherently perfect. Because the Bible’s very words are perfect because of the Spirit’s inspiration, they continue to manifest the power of the Holy Spirit in authority and sufficiency.”
