Synopsis
Excerpt from The Authority of Holy Scripture: An Inaugural Address
The inaugural address on the Authority of Holy Scripture, delivered Jan. 20, 1891, in the Adams chapel of the Union Theological Seminary, New York, was printed by authority of the directors of the Seminary, in accordance with their custom, for the use of the di rectors, faculty, students, and friends of the institution. The address has attracted the attention of the public far beyond anything that could have been anticipated. The discussions about it have not only developed the usual hostility of the reactionary anti-revision party in the Presbyterian Church and of the ultra-conservative factions in other denominations; but have also made it evident that some of my friends do not altogether un derstand my position with regard to certain difficult and delicate questions of our times. I have seen nothing. In the hostile criticism to lead me to make any changes whatever, either in the matter or the form of the address. But it seemed to me wise to republish the address in a second edition under my own responsibility, with some additional notes and explanations. This third edition contains the charges made against me before the Pres bytery of New York, Oct. Sth, and my answer thereto, Nov. 4th.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book marks the inception of the Edward Robinson Chair of Biblical Theology, established in 1890 thanks to a generous endowment provided by the venerable Charles Butler. The author, Reverend Briggs, was handpicked by Butler himself for the inaugural incumbency of the newly formed chair, which was named after one of the most celebrated scholars of Biblical literature, Edward Robinson. Reverend Briggs explores the discipline of Biblical Theology, scrutinizing its inception and development to determine how the field can be advanced further. The book considers how the discipline of Biblical theology unites the work of exegesis. It rises through an inductive process across the complete spectrum of Biblical study, providing a systematic and comprehensive grasp of the entire Bible. Notably, Briggs argues that the theology of the Bible is the only infallible authority, whereas the theology of the creeds is merely ecclesiastical and the theology of theologians is fallible. This book is an invaluable resource for students of theology, challenging traditional dogmatic approaches to scripture.
