book) If inspired by God, who is the source of authority, one would believe that the Bible also has authority. Authority of scripture implies that scripture is used to govern our lives.

For this assignment I have broken down the CRC position sentences to dissect each major claim. Scripture, the saving revelation of God in Jesus Christ, addresses us with full divine authority in its total extent and in all its parts, and therefore the CRC speaks of the Bible as the inspired and infallible Word of God.

In Shaped by the Word, by Robert Mulholland Jr., one finds a way to read scripture in order to provide a deeper understanding of God and allow His Word to shape one’s spiritual life. In the Introduction, in chapter 1, the reader is introduced to the idea that there is a movement in the church that seeks to become deeper and stricter in spiritual formation.
