The voice of God in the text of Scripture: explorations in constructive dogmatics

Scholars from biblical studies and theology have recently been engaged in various ways in the project of theological interpretation of Scripture. This literature has raised issues about the theological content of the biblical material, authorial intention, the reception and formation of the Bible as Christian Scripture, the importance of the canonical form of the text, and the relationship between Scripture and the Rule of Faith.

The question that frames it is, "How does the voice of God come to us in the text of Scripture?"
