Yarbrough here summarizes his views on the most important questions of biblical scholarship: With which methods, with which views on Scripture do we approach the Bible?Yarbrough presents many examples of two ‘clashing’ approaches, but only one of them has the fruit of leading and strengthening readers of Scripture to finding and following Christ as their Savior. There is hope for future Christendom, and also for mission, if Jesus is the center of Scripture and of the life of its readers.

He calls into question the … marginalization of ‘populist’ interpretive voices by an ‘elitist’ academia which has long lost its bearings.
