The Trustworthiness of God’s Words
Why the Reliability of Every Word from God Matters
Layton Talbert
Biblical evidence that God keeps his word
We can know that everything he says is true
Putting this trust into action
This is a book about God’s jealousy for his integrity, his passion to be believed, on the basis of his words alone. Throughout Scripture God expresses his determination to be known as the God who keeps his words. He has resolved that every person and nation will see and confess that all his words are reliable down to every last syllable, jot, and tittle. Learning to trust a God who is sovereign and in control, especially in the ache and throb of life, means hanging on to the conviction that everything he says is utterly dependable.

… does not merely list the usual prooftexts (though there’d be nothing wrong with that!) and draw out their implications; no, he demonstrates in concrete text after text within Scripture that God’s words are trustworthy. Talbert not only trusts God’s words, he models that truth by rooting it in careful examination of those words.

Layton Talbert demonstrates from God’s own words that God is passionate about vindicating the complete integrity and trustworthiness of his words. All of God’s words are reliable. God always keeps his words.

Hermeneutically nuanced. Theologically sound. Pastorally sensitive. Layton Talbert offers both the church and the academy a valuable service here. I heartily recommend it to God’s people as an antidote to unbelief in God’s Word.
