"A master class in how to read the Bible directly and accurately". Biblical Reasoning. shows how Christology and the doctrine of the Trinity are grounded in Scripture and how knowledge of these topics is critical for exegesis. "In content, this book is a profound study of the triune God and the incarnate Son. But in form and method, it's a master class in how to read the Bible directly and accurately, aided by classic, doctrinal wisdom. Introducing readers to clear rules and proven tools, Jamieson and Wittman put theology where it belongs: in service of knowing God through his Word. Biblical Reasoning. is a triumph, a gift given to equip the saints for the work of interpretation. "-Fred Sanders. , Torrey Honors College, Biola University"Does biblical exegesis, when done with modern tools, collapse the classical dogmatic consensus on the Trinity and Christ. Jamieson and Wittman show us why the answer is no through a careful introduction to what Scripture is, what hearing Scripture's truth involves, and why the realities of the Trinity and the incarnation are biblical. This book requires the attention of all catholic (and Catholic) Christians. "-Matthew Levering. , Mundelein Seminary"Over the last few decades, believing scholars within both theology and biblical studies have been trying to retrieve and reappropriate the riches of the Christian tradition that have fared poorly in the modern era. Well versed and deeply rooted, Jamieson and Wittman represent this vision with wisdom, beauty, verve, and practicality. This book gives me hope and courage for the ongoing task of a robust ecclesial life guided by Holy Scripture and biblical reasoning. "-Jonathan T. Pennington. , Southern Seminary; pastor of spiritual formation, Sojourn East Church"In this profoundly learned, instructive, and helpful work, Jamieson and Wittman outline and exemplify a number of well-tried exegetical principles and tools for discerning in Scripture the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. This is a book of generational significance that deserves to be read by all teachers and serious students of the Bible. "-Scott R. Swain. , Reformed Theological Seminary
