'It is often the case that evangelical discussions about the nature of the Bible focus on its truth and authority. However, these topics are not a major preoccupation of the Bible itself. When it describes or refers to itself, it is more often in terms of its power, trustworthiness, and reliability. God's words are powerful, because God is powerful; God's words are trustworthy, because God is faithful. This is not to deny the authority of the Bible, but it does mean that we should understand that authority in the context of the Bible's power and reliability.'
Peter Adam, Wriiten for Us, p.93.
