Abstract
For Enns, an associate professor of Old Testament at Westminster Theological Seminary, "the primary purpose of Scripture is for the church to eat and drink its contents in order to understand better who God is, what he has done and what it means to be his people, redeemed in the crucified and risen Son" (p. 168). His goal in writing Inspiration and Incarnation "is to bring an evangelical doctrine of Scripture into conversation with the implications generated by some important themes in modern biblical scholarship - particularly Old Testament scholarship - over the past 150 years" (p. 13). He seeks to reach those who accept the fact that "the Bible is God's word, but for whom reading the Bible has become a serious theological problem - even a crisis" (p. 15).
