THE DIVINE SPIRATION OF SCRIPTURE
Challenging evangelical perspectives
By A.T.B. McGowan . Apollos (IVP). 230 pages. £14.99
ISBN 978-1-84474-220-2

The author of this book is a very able theologian and communicator, deeply shaped by the Reformation heritage of Christianity and sincere in his desire to reform contemporary evangelicalism. However, I must take time to show why I believe one of the key arguments in the book is seriously mistaken.

Here is a very detailed and helpful overview of the rise of liberal theology. McGowan provides a reliable guide to the various theologians who have had a significant impact on how we view the Bible, including Karl Barth, B.B.Warfield and Herman Bavinck. In the evangelical response to liberalism, some poorly chosen words may have entered the evangelical vocabulary and need to be reviewed and, perhaps, replaced.
