Synopsis
Excerpt from Errors of the Scriptures
It may be said, in this and several other cases, that the result is the same, whether we suppose the statements to be those of imperfect human knowledge, or of omniscience adapting itself to human ignorance in either case, the im perfect statement remains. In a certain sense this is true, and is a necessity of any progressive revelation, and, in fact, of any revelation, to men of limited knowledge but the view to be taken of the Scriptures depends greatly on whether we consider this imperfection the result of man's speculation or of God's condescension. In the one case, we have the human element of the Bible without limitation, and can rely upon it only in so far as man's wisdom is trustworthy; in the other, we have the teaching of Omniscience itself, and only need to take into account that he taught men according as they were able to bear. We think that the cosmogony of Genesis, to say the least, is consistent with the latter hypothesis.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a unique exploration of the relationship between the human and divine elements in the Bible. Through detailed analysis of various passages, the author concludes that the Bible is indeed the word of God, but not in an error-free, literal sense. The author argues that science, history, and other fields of knowledge continue to evolve and challenge the specific details contained within the Bible, but that the underlying spiritual truths remain valid and relevant. The book provides numerous examples from both the Old and New Testaments to illustrate this thesis, showing that such interpretations are consistent with a humble and honest acceptance of the Bible. The author's deep understanding of the Bible and their mastery of theological principles make this book an essential guide to navigating the complex relationship between faith and reason. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334241543_0
