About this ebook
What books and words make up the Christian Scriptures?
What do the Scriptures claim for themselves?
How can we know the Scriptures are true?
How are the Scriptures confirmed by the peculiar glory of God?
John Piper examines the Bible’s self-authenticating nature and unique ability to showcase God’s unmatched glory, laying a solid foundation for the belief that God’s Word is absolutely perfect and totally reliable.
Says the author, ‘I do not merely hold a view of Scripture. I am held. The glory of God shining through his Word has been an irresistible treasure.’
The Bible is not a masterpiece hanging on the wall of an Alpine chalet. Rather, it is a window on the wall through which we see and admire the stunning Alpine view.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5First of all, I love John Piper.
I'm afraid he's saying the same thing in all of his books. I don't recommend this to someone who has read at least one of Piper's book. Piper repeats the same thing over and over again in each chapter. I think, he should have finished it in 60 pages rather 200
His paragraph on, grasping a new reality in our Life made me think deeper. However, I wouldn't be able to thump that as something to share with someone. It goes into mysticism. He did make good thoughts about people who do not have time to read Scholarly textbooks.
Overall, he failed to establish what he intended to do.
Not worth the $ and time,
better watch his sermon.
