Synopsis

Excerpt from The Inspiration of Scripture: An Examination Into Its Meaning, Origin and Theories Thereon

The writer has been at some considerable pains in collecting information on the various views pro pounded, and he has been vain enough to think that the result may be of service to others. Divinity students, candidates for holy orders, and thoughtful readers may not be disposed to wade through every treatise for and against the tenet, but may be dis posed to have a summary of them all. It is with that hope that the following pages are printed.

When a subject has been for years in a person's thoughts, he will have digested the results of others to such an extent that he becomes unconscious of their origin. However, a list of works is appended, the contents of which have been freely used and, it is hoped, freely acknowledged. It would be pre sumptuous indeed to lay claim to any great origin ality the writer would therefore say, as Montesquieu says somewhere I have gathered a nosegay of flowers, and mine is the string that ties them.' Should this essay live to see a second edition, some of the chapters may be considerably expanded.

Product Description

Excerpt from The Inspiration of Scripture: An Examination Into Its Meaning, Origin and Theories Thereon By the Statutes of the University of Oxford, the aspirant to the degree of D.D. is required to write dissertations on certain conditions. The following pages were primarily written for that purpose. The subject is one that has occupied the writer's attention for many years, as has doubtless been the case with many men in holy orders. Of late years the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures has been much discussed. This may be attributed to the revived activity of the Church, to the increased and minute criticism expended on Scripture, and to the extended researches, historical and philological, which have marked the last half-century. Activity from within always provokes activity from without, and the assaults of scepticism have ever been coordinate with the zeal of believers. The inspiration of Scripture has been in this way assailed, denied, or explained away. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
