“In this brief but deceptively weighty essay on the inspiration of Scripture, Robert Jenson writes that his attention to this topic has been an ‘embarrassingly late development.’ But better late than never, and better perhaps to have his reflections at this point in his career and at this (unsettling) point in the church’s life. Jenson invites us to see the Spirit’s unique and structured relation to Scripture in the context of the Spirit’s care for the church. His ‘proposal’ or ‘suggested construal’ for how we should think about inspiration is itself grounded in a reading of Scripture as the word of the prophets and apostles. We may not be sure of every move along the way, but when a distinguished theologian offers us the fruit of a lifetime’s reflection on Scripture, we do well to read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest his proposal.” *Gilbert Meilaender, Professor of Theology; Valparaiso University - from Amzon
