Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Inquiry Into the Proofs, Nature, and Extent of Inspiration, and Into the Authority of Scripture
It is thus-that some refuse to recognise any inspiration of the new-testament-scriptures, excepting for the single assertion that Jesus is the Christ. Others again, excluding all the historical portions of the Bible, would limit the sacred character to its doctrinal assertions. It is maintained by some, and denied by others, that inspiration extends to physical facts - to notices respecting profane history - to the style and com position. According to some, the whole of Scripture, matter and language, must be alike of divine authorship; whilst others find no difficulty in supposing, that God might have committed his extraordinary agency altogether to the uncon trolled and unassisted registry of fallible men.
