| | Theology Today - Vol 43, No. 3 - October 1986 - BOOK REVIEW - What Christians Believe About the Bible |
 | | The author, an associate professor of theology at the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary, seeks to meet the need for a one-volume work that explains "the basics of the various contemporary views about the nature of the Bible." This goal is admirably achieved. |
 | | McKim presents his materials under two major rubrics, "Ecclesiastical Traditions" and "Theological Positions." The former includes classical and contemporary Roman Catholic views on the subject matter, as well as Lutheran, Reformed, and Anabaptist alternatives. |
 | | Here McKim focuses upon ten "theological options" that are available today, all of which "have their own ways of understanding the nature of Scripture and its appropriate interpretation." The list includes liberal, fundamentalist, scholastic, neo-orthodox, neo-evangelical, existential, process, story, liberation, and feminist theology. |
