At the same time I would like specially to thank my friends Roger Beckwith, Timothy Dudley-Smith and Dick France for reading the text of my six responses and making valuable suggestions for its improvement, together with Sam Berry and Ernest Lucas for answering one or two scientific questions which I put to them.

See also I. Howard Marshall in Biblical Inspiration (Hodder & Stoughton, 1982; Wm B. Eerdmans, 1983), pp, 40-7.
See Carl F. H. Henry, Confessions of a Theologian (Word Books, 1986), p. 365, and Kenneth Kantzer's contribution to R. Webber, Evangelical Roots (Nelson, 1978), p. 91.
I would like to make particular mention of two Evangelical books which relate to the Bible and ethics. The first is a symposium edited by Bruce Kaye and Gordon Wenham entitled Law, Morality and the Bible, which was published by the Inter-Varsity Press in 1978. It begins with the basic themes of grace, law, freedom and order, and then opens up the process of Christian moral reasoning. The second is a booklet by Dr Christopher Wright entitled The Use of the Bible in Social Ethics (Grove Booklets, 1983). In it he helpfully brings together the 'linear model' (creation—fall—redemption—new creation) and the 'triangular model' (the relations in both creation and redemption between God, humankind and the earth).
