Slavery, Sabbath, War & WomenCase Issues in Biblical Interpretation by Willard M. Swartley |
|
Willard M. Swartley effectively demonstrates how the Bible can be used for authoritative guidance on social issues. Includes introduction, appendices, and index.
"He shows how opposing views to a subject use the Scriptures to support their beliefs. Christians who wish to deal earnestly and honestly with the relevant biblical text will surely be helped by this book to understand the nature of the debate and to discern more adequately the way in which God addresses us today. I heartily recommend this good study for church and seminary use alike." —Robert P. Meye, dean of Fuller Theological Seminary School of Theology
