O knihe

Anglicans are formed by Scripture and it has undergirded their identity since
the Reformation. It shapes Anglican worship and liturgy, it is read and listened
to corporately and individually, through preaching its wisdom is interpreted for
daily life, and scholarly engagement with it is valued as new situations and
challenges call for scripturally informed understanding.
Yet what is meant when Anglicans talk of the authority of Scripture in the life of
the Church is not always clear; nor indeed exactly how Scripture should be
interpreted. In recent years, tension has arisen from differing understandings of
Scripture. For this reason, the Bible in the Life of the Church project was set up
in 2009 to explore the questions of authority and interpretation in widely
differing contexts.
This landmark book records what happened when groups of Anglicans in
different parts of the world studied the same passages of Scripture concerned
with creation and justice, what was revealed about the way that Anglicans
actually regard and use the Bible and what this implies for life together
in the Church.
The contributors include Ellen Bradshaw Aitken, David Allen, Ellen F. Davis,
Stephen Lyon, Robert MacSwain, Jonathan May, David Moxon and others.
The editor, Clare Amos, was Director for Theological Studies in the Anglican
Communion Office, and was involved in the work of the Bible in the Life of the
Church project from its inception. She is now Programme Coordinator
and Executive for Interreligious Dialogue and Co-operation at the World Council
of Churches.
