ABSTRACT
This chapter examines that the James Barr, Paul Ricoeur and Hans Frei on the Bible as Scripture is undertaken. Two primary features of the Bible as Christian Scripture in any articulation are the manner in which the biblical corpus is construed as a whole canon; and the relation of this construal to an articulation of the authority of the Bible. Barr turns a critical eye on Christological depiction of Holy Scripture three times in Old and New in Interpretation. Christian construal's of the unity and authority of the Bible as Scripture are rendered problematic by each of the primary authors and then rearticulated on historical-critical, or hermeneutic grounds or by means of literary/social-scientific considerations. The final analysis of Christological interpretation of the Bible for the sake of biblical unity takes place in a more constructive section of Old and New in Interpretation.
