Download or read book Word and Supplement written by Timothy Ward and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2002 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are Christians saying when they call the Bible the Word of God? How is that statement to be understood in relation to postmodernity's suspicion of meaning? Word and Supplement tackles these questions by bringing the post-modern theory of Derrida (from whom the idea of "supplement" is borrowed), Barth, Fish, Gadamer, and many others into critical dialogue with the often-neglected doctrine of the sufficiency of Scripture.
