Synopsis

The Bible never claims to be the Word of God; nevertheless, multiplied thousands of honest-hearted believers insist that the Word of God is what the Bible is. Among some zealous believers, and not-so-zealous believers, confession of faith in the Bible as being the Word of God has, in fact, become a sort of litmus test to prove the legitimacy of one’s faith in Christ. But God never set that standard for us, and it is dangerous to use anything as a measuring stick that He has not set forth for that purpose. In this book, I hope to demonstrate beyond all doubt that it is unbiblical to refer to the Bible as God’s Word. Not only is it unbiblical to do so, however; it is also unwise, as I hope to show. As much reverence as is due the Bible (and it is due a great deal of reverence), it is beyond the limit of both reason and revelation to call it the Word of God. That “the Word was in the beginning with God ” does not suggest that God had a Bible sitting on a table beside His heavenly throne during Creation. And that “the Word became flesh and dwelled among us” does not mean, as one man told me, that the Bible became a printed book on earth. Rather, that “the word became flesh” extols the wonderful love of God in Christ Jesus, the Word of the Father incarnate.
