"One could hardly ask for a more interesting and comprehensive set of essays on the role of the Bible in evangelical life. It is a historical anthology that 'gets into the weeds' without getting lost-meaning each essay prompts one to think about contemporary biblical issues that evangelicals wrestle with today."
Mark Galli, former editor in chief of Christianity Today
"Evangelicals have always been people of 'the book.' Regardless of their levels of literacy, they have loved and tried to live by the contents of the Bible. Some have done so as highly learned theological exegetes. Most have been more simple hearers and doers of the Word. But no matter their ethnicity, race, gender, or social class, they have done their best, when at their best, to honor every 'leaf, line, and letter' of the Scriptures. This all-star cast of first-rate scholars and associatesof David Bebbington, one of the most important evangelical scholars of our age, has compiled the best collection of short essays ever written on the diversity of evangelical uses of the Bible. This book is a must-read for serious students of evangelicalism, their study of the Scriptures, and the historiographical legacies of Bebbington himself."
Douglas A. Sweeney, dean and professor of divinity, Beeson Divinity School, Samford Univer
