What Scripture Says
Books for Christians who want disputed questions brought back under biblical authority. The governing question is not what will work politically, what the culture will tolerate, or what a tradition can be made to defend. The governing question is what God has said.

What belongs here
Books governed by biblical authority
The What Scripture Says books are not political books with Bible verses attached. They are theological books. Some chapters address public and cultural questions because Scripture speaks to public and cultural questions, but the method is not punditry. The method is exegesis, doctrinal reasoning, moral application, and submission to the text.
The reader is therefore being asked to do something more demanding than agree with the author. He is being asked to examine the Scriptures, test the argument, and submit to the Word of God wherever the Word corrects him.

The discipline of the series
Text first
Arguments begin with Scripture, not with therapeutic categories, denominational reflexes, or political usefulness.
Plain speech
The books aim to say the thing clearly enough that the reader can test it, reject it, or obey it.
Correction required
The point is not to preserve every inherited conviction. The point is to bring each conviction under the Word of God.
The harder test is not whether we will correct people outside the church. The harder test is whether we will let Scripture correct us.
