Bloesch sets out the pivotal evangelical doctrines of the Bible's revelation, inspiration and interpretation.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eWishing to \"defend the orthodox evangelical faith from its friends as well as its enemies,\" Bloesch provocatively argues against both evangelical rationalism and liberal experientialism. And he proposes the alternative of biblical evangelicalism--which sees Scripture as the *written* Word of God but stresses that it becomes the *living* Word of God only through the illumination of the Holy Spirit.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eIn dialogue with Martin Luther, John Calvin, P.
