Excerpt from Principles of Biblical Criticism
HE first point to which our attention will naturally be directed is the evidence on which we accept the Scriptures as the Word of God. And first of all, we are confronted with the fact, to which we shall afterwards refer more fully, that these books have been handed down for more than years, and some of them, if the View everywhere held until the close of the last century be correct, for a far longer period, as books of an entirely unique character and authority. How far that authority is to be supposed to extend is a question which will be discussed in a future chapter. Many Christian teachers have denied that Christianity can be fairly described as a book revelation, however much of late years it may have come to be regarded as such. It has been much debated whether the Bible can more properly be asserted to be, or to contain, the revelation Of God's will.
