The book distinguishes at length between the scholarly term “inventio” (making explicit what is implicit in the biblical revelation) and the idea of “invention” (presenting a novelty as Christian teaching that conflicts with the biblical revelation).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecifically, \u003ci\u003eThe Formation of Christian Doctrine\u003c\/i\u003e identifies biblical inerrancy as an inventio but sees the “priesthood of believers” concept as a license to believe “whatever teaching seems right to me.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSure to be of interest in academic circles, even to those who might disagree with the author, this book will appeal to three major groups: Evangelicals in relation to the twentieth-century development of a detailed doctrine of biblical inerrancy, Baptists in light of both biblical inerrancy and the seventeenth-century development of believer’s baptism, and Roman Catholics because of their respect for \u003cbr\u003etradition and interest in such a challenging conservative Protestant perspective as is found here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"B\u0026H Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47139541680368,"sku":"9781433669866","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781433669866_p0.jpg?v=1763753115","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781433669866","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
