The Word of a Humble God

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“As a pastor and church educator, I’ve read scores of books about the nature of the Bible. Karen’s The Word of a Humble God is the book I’ve long been looking for on how we got the Bible! Her book presents the making of the Bible, the nature of inspiration, and principles for interpretation, all in one volume! With an incredible talent for explaining complex topics like the Bible’s formation from oral tradition, initial manuscript traditions, authoritative scriptures, and canons of today, Karen once again does what she is so good at: succinctly explaining her thesis in accessible terms. . . . This book deserves a wide a readership—it’s a ‘must read’ for anyone new to Christianity or wanting to learn how God guided the process of forming his Scriptures! Highly recommended!”
