He begins with the end by taking a look at Psalm 119 and how we ought to view Scripture. He then compares Scripture with subjective approaches to knowing God. Chapters 3-6 deal with the sufficiency, clarity, finality, and necessity of God\u2019s Word. Chapter 7 addresses Christ\u2019s view of Scriptures, and then chapter 8 is a challenge to value God\u2019s Word for what it is. He ends with an annotated bibliography on bibliology.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Favorite Quote: \u201cWe need the revelation of God to know God, and the only sure, saving, final, perfect revelation of God is found in Scripture.\u201d (Kindle 1103)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>For a full review,\u00a0follow the link above<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book: DeYoung, Kevin.
