He gives a clear definition of the terms, claiming that an accurate definition is more than half the battle in defending the integrity of the Bible. He also examines the canon (how we got the Bible), Inerrancy and Exegesis, as well as the claims of extra-biblical writings, such as the so-called Gospel of Thomas.
In many circles today, even some evangelical ones, we hear allegations of biblical contradictions and corruption. We hear mystical terminology such as, “The Lord spoke to me…”; we hear traditions raised to the same level of authority as Scripture and we hear about the Development of Doctrine. The Bible refutes each of these claims and White addresses it this book.
One of the many strengths of the book is that White puts the hard to grasp concepts into context. By using a dialogue format, he presents the problem and defends the Bible in a conversation between two people. These dialogues will help bring into focus the great truths of faith against the backdrop of error.
As a follower of Christ, there should be no doubt as to the inerrancy, infallibility, sufficiency and authority of what God has said to us in His Word. If you have found yourself wondering if the Gospel of Thomas is binding to our conscience or if the Apocrypha belongs in the Canon or if the Bible is really sufficient for all of life and godliness (II Peter 1:3), then Scripture Alone will be a great help to you.
