Dr. Wellum received his [Ph.D. degree](Ph.D. degree)[ ](Ph.D. degree)in theology from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and has also taught theology at the Associated Canadian Theological Schools and Northwest Baptist Theological College and Seminary in Canada. He has contributed to several publications and a collection of essays on theology and worldview issues.  \nIt is certainly true that all and every portion of Scripture is vitally important. Given what Scripture is, namely, God’sown breathed-out Word through the agency of human authors (see, e.g., 2 Tim 3:16-17; 2 Pet 1:20-21), we are not at liberty to create a canon within a canon. All Scripture, including for instance the census accounts of Numbers, the genealogical lists of the OT and NT, and other seemingly mundane parts of Scripture are God-given. Thus, they are crucial for our understanding of God’s saving plan in Christ, instruction, and edification. Infact, as God’s Word, Scripture alone serves as our foundation and final authority in every area of our thinking, behavior, and outlook.
