Word and supplement Speech acts, biblical texts, and the sufficiency of Scripture

What are Christians saying when they call the Bible the Word of God? This book tackles such questions by bringing post-modern theory into critical dialogue with the doctrine of the sufficiency of Scripture. It constructs 'the sufficiency of Scripture' as both a concept and a doctrine which must remain central to Christian theology and practice.
