The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the history of biblical interpretation and the various theories of inspiration that have been proposed over time. The second part examines the nature of biblical inspiration and the ways in which it is expressed in the text. The third part focuses on the authority of the Bible and its role in shaping Christian theology and practice.Throughout the book, Clifford draws on a wide range of theological and philosophical sources to support his arguments. He emphasizes the importance of a nuanced understanding of inspiration and the need for careful interpretation of the Bible in order to fully appreciate its authority. Overall, The Inspiration and Authority of the Bible is a thought-provoking exploration of one of the most fundamental questions in Christian theology.
