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.

Good quality and cannot beat the value you get with a suit
Size: Medium, Color: Black
I recently purchased the WEEN CHARM Men's Suits Slim Fit for my son's homecoming and I must say, I am impressed with the quality and fit of this suit. Firstly, the material used in this suit is of exceptional quality. The fabric feels soft and smooth, and it has a nice weight to it which gives it a luxurious feel. The suit doesn't feel cheap or flimsy at all. The slim fit design is impeccable. It hugs my son's body in all the right places, giving him a sharp and stylish look. The suit is tailored to perfection and accentuates his physique beautifully. I also appreciate the attention to detail in the craftsmanship. The stitching is neat and sturdy, and there were no loose threads or flaws that I could find. The suit looks like it was made with care and precision. Additionally, the suit was surprisingly comfortable. My son didn't complain about any discomfort or restriction of movement throughout the evening, which is always a plus. The only reason I haven't given it a five-star rating is because the suit did require some minor alterations for a perfect fit. Nonetheless, this is a small inconvenience considering the overall satisfaction we had with this purchase. In conclusion, I highly recommend the WEEN CHARM Men's Suits Slim Fit. It is a stylish, well-made suit that will definitely make a statement at any formal event. My son looked dashing in it and received many compliments.

Fit like a glove and soft to the touch.
Size: Small, Color: Black
My son loved the suit. It was not itchy. The fabric was soft. He did not like the vest but it is because he normally wears baggy clothes. He did not want a slim fit suit but he ended feeling good in it. For the price you can't miss. He is 140 lbs and is 5'7". We used the sizing chart for reference and bought size small. The length and waist of the pants were perfect and the arms were just right.

Awesome value! Great fit!
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
Complete men's suit for under $70!!! Crazy!! My husband is thrilled with this suit! We ordered a XXXL but it was a bit baggy. Ordered the double XL and it was perfect! Husband is 6'1, waist 38, broad chested. No adjustments or hemming needed! Love it!
