The Bible, the Church, and Authority: The Canon of the Christian Bible in History and TheologySince the early days of Christianity a tension has existed between the authority of the Bible and the authority of the Church.

Since the early days of Christianity a tension has existed between the authority of the Bible and the authority of the Church. This has been further heightened by the question of Bible translation: How does the Word stand firm and yet continue to speak to a changing Church?

Joseph Lienhard, a specialist in Early Christianity, examines the evolution of the Christian canon by casting this question against the life of the early Christians. Among the topics treated are the Christian use of Jewish Scriptures, the Catholic and Protestant Old Testaments, the emergence of the New Testament, the struggle for the right interpretation of the Scriptures, the problem of inspiration, and modern attempts to explain the Church's New Testament canon theologically. The book questions the use of historicist methods of interpretation and appeals to the Rule of Faith as the right norm for interpreting the Scriptures in the Church.

Joseph T. Lienhard, SJ, earned his doctorate at the University of Freiburg im Breisgau (Germany) with two dissertations on Paulinus of Nola and Marcellus of Ancyra. His work is in patristics. He taught at Marquette University from 1975 to 1990, and since 1990 has been at Fordham University, where he is also chair of the department of theology. He has published Ministry in the Message of the Fathers of the Church series and other titles.

Aesthetically pleasing to the eye
Color: Black
This product is a good organizer for the song it serves its purpose. However I wish the tray that catches the water would stay in place. It is constantly moving and doesn’t always tilt to allow the water to flow down properly. The quality of the basket is good. It is easy to keep clean. It was super easy to assemble did not require any special tools. So far so good it is withstanding being wet all the time and I do not see any rust or deterioration or fading of the color in the two months I’ve had it. This sink organizer is modern and adds a nice aesthetic to my kitchen.

Fits my needs
Color: Light blue, Color: Light blue
I purchased this specifically for the garbage disposal side of my kitchen sink. I only needed it to hold my sink stopper. I haven't used th basket yet, but will probably use it for a steel scrubber. It's a little on the small side, but it works great for me.

Perfect size
Color: Black
Fits the little spot we have in our kitchen very well. I tend to not measure and just hope for the best. Easy to clean and hasn't rusted yet. Does a good job of draining and letting things flow down
