The Trustworthiness of God’s Words
Why the Reliability of Every Word from God Matters
Layton Talbert
Biblical evidence that God keeps his word
We can know that everything he says is true
Putting this trust into action
This is a book about God’s jealousy for his integrity, his passion to be believed, on the basis of his words alone. Throughout Scripture God expresses his determination to be known as the God who keeps his words. He has resolved that every person and nation will see and confess that all his words are reliable down to every last syllable, jot, and tittle. Learning to trust a God who is sovereign and in control, especially in the ache and throb of life, means hanging on to the conviction that everything he says is utterly dependable.

… does not merely list the usual prooftexts (though there’d be nothing wrong with that!) and draw out their implications; no, he demonstrates in concrete text after text within Scripture that God’s words are trustworthy. Talbert not only trusts God’s words, he models that truth by rooting it in careful examination of those words.

… a very useful work which is not a conventional defence of the complete trustworthiness of God’s Words encapsulated in Scripture, but more of a series of applications for believers. The book rests on the foundation that God’s word is true, and is to be trusted, and that faith is intellectual, emotional and volitional.

This helpful study shows that the very integrity of God is at stake in the veracity of His words. They are true because he is true. There is great comfort in the truthfulness of God’s words!

Hermeneutically nuanced. Theologically sound. Pastorally sensitive. Layton Talbert offers both the church and the academy a valuable service here. I heartily recommend it to God’s people as an antidote to unbelief in God’s Word.
