Fantastic and a must read for all professors, pastors, and laymen. Wright's assessment of "the authority of scripture" is insightful and groundbreaking. If you want to understand how scripture has been read and how it should be read, read this book. Also, it's short and sweet. ( )

The discussion of the authority of scripture is an important discussion and this book is, overall, a disappointing contribution to it. It feels hastily written and the argument feels hastily assembled. As big a fan of Wright as I am, I just could not enjoy or appreciate this book. ( )

What a great little gem of a book. A lot of ground is covered within this, but Wright makes every point quite cohesively and in a manner that really brings about thought. I really appreciate the thoughts he put in this and it is a very interesting subject. It is probably something that should be discuseed more often, openly, and with respect to each other. ( )
