Excerpt from The Inspiration of the Scriptures: A Review of the Theories of the Rev. Daniel Wilson, Rev. Dr. Pye Smith, and the Rev. Dr. Dick, and Other Treatises
OF all the subjects that have lately come under discussion among Christians, that of the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures is doubtless the most impor tant. The honor of Revelation, the comfort and edification of the believer, and the truth of the express statements of the Scriptures themselves, demand our belief that the Bible, as originally given, is divine IN every word.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a debate that has captivated Christian thinkers for centuries: the nature of inspiration in the Holy Scriptures. The author tackles the controversial question of whether every word of the Bible is divinely inspired, or if human elements play a role in its composition. The book challenges a popular theory that argues the Bible is partly human and partly divine, claiming that such a distinction is not supported by the text itself. The author analyzes specific passages and arguments from various theologians of the time, demonstrating that the idea of a "mixed" inspiration undermines the Bible's authority and creates unnecessary complexities. The book's analysis is deeply thematic, exploring the implications of different views on inspiration for Christian faith, the role of human agency in revelation, and the very essence of God's word. It presents a compelling case for the full, verbal inspiration of the Scriptures, arguing that every word, from the grandest theological pronouncements to the seemingly mundane details, carries the weight of God's authority. Ultimately, this book offers a powerful defense of the Bible's unique character and challenges readers to engage with the question of inspiration with fresh insight and unwavering conviction.
