Understandable

This book is very informative and easy to understand. Theres not too much theological lingo.

Strongly recommended reading for the Baptist community.

In Biblical Authority: The Critical Issue For The Body Of Christ, James Draper (president of LifeWay Christian Resources) and Kenneth Keathley (Dean f Students and Assistant Professor of Theology and Philosophy, New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary) effectively collaborate to present key issues confronting the Christian church as it relates to the authority and message of the Bible. The issues covered including how the abandonment of biblical authority in decision making and standards of conduct lead to spiritual disaster for the community of faith, the Church's historical position on biblical authority, the nature and meaning of biblical authority, and relationship of the Southern Baptist Convention and Authority to the community church. Biblical Authority is strongly recommended reading, especially for those within the Baptist community.
