From the Paper:

"There are a number of factors from within theological studies that make it difficult if not impossible to speak of the authority of Scripture today. The Bible and other sources of Scripture often clash with respect to authority depending on different views of Catholics, Protestants and Jewish theologians. As Bruce maintains 'The question to be examined is how did certain documents and these only come to receive this recognition? Who if anyone decided that these and no others should be admitted to the list of holy Scriptures?'"
