This book, first of all, examines what the Bible itself says about revelation and about its own inspiration; then, while enunciating the testimony given to it by Christ and by the church throughout the centuries, it sums up theories proposed regarding it; and, finally, brings out the supernatural characteristics which attest to the divine origin of Scripture and which establish its sovereign authority.

Inspiration and Authority: Nature and Function of Christian Scripture
“In an evaluation of the Scriptures as the Word of God, inspiration is an essential element. The long Protestant experience with this issue is both fruitful and painful, for many have drawn false conclusions from the justified belief in inspiration. Paul Achtemeier is a first-rate scholar who combines scientific investigation with faith, and his sensitivity and honesty make this a most useful book for all interested in the Bible. . . . A better practical book on the subject would be hard to find.”–Raymond E. Brown, former Auburn Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Union Theological Seminary, New York
“If Achtemeier’s book reaches that large body of Christians looking for a nonfundamentalistic doctrine of Scripture, it could play a major role in creating a framework for them. He comes across as possessing a deep love and respect for the Bible and for the Lord, and eager for people to place their minds and lives beneath its authority. He offers us in the end the doctrine of a covenantal Scripture given by God to his people for their edification and renewal, a dynamic document that can perform this service two thousand years after its completion, confronting us with God’s Word for our situation, through the power of the Spirit. I am highly grateful for this book and recommend it highly to others.”–Clark H. Pinnock, former professor emeritus of systematic theology, McMaster Divinity College

Possessing Your Healing: Taking Authority Over Sickness in Your Life
Is divine healing for you?
Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? You can be healed and happy by possessing the abundant life God desires for you—today!
Possessing Your Healing—Taking Authority over Sickness in Your Life challenges the religious constructs that prevent people from walking in their healing.
“Sacred cows” are examined that may be hindering the flow of the power of God in your life. You will be challenged, encouraged, enlightened—and most of all, you will be blessed when you use the practical keys to unlock God’s promise of healing for born-again believers.
Because of the lack of manifestation of healing in people’s lives and the hopelessness that sickness produces, people have judged God as unfaithful; they do not see God as their Healer, their personal Great Physician—yet that is exactly what He is.
Possessing Your Healing is not written especially for ministers or people involved in healing ministry—it simply gives every believer the basic principles of the New Covenant and shows how everyone can enter into the reality of healing.
This book teaches you how to be healed!
