Synopsis

A Manual On The Inspiration Of Scripture by Charles Dallas Marston. This work presents a concise, accessible examination of the Inspiration of the Scriptures. It argues that divine revelation is possible and probable, and that inspiration is a distinctive, extraordinary influence of the Holy Spirit on chosen persons to communicate God’s will without error. The volume analyzes two main theories of inspiration—mechanical and dynamical—and advocates a view that preserves the human element in Scripture while affirming its divine authorship and authority. It surveys proofs for inspiration, including the antiquity and preservation of the Bible, the remarkable unity of its message across sixty-six books, the intrinsic power of its language, its universal suitability to all peoples and minds, the unique status of the Biblical writers, and the fulfillment of prophecy. It also discusses the relationship between the Old and New Testaments, showing how New Testament writers and Jesus himself treated the Old Testament as the Word of God and how the two testaments form one divine plan of redemption. The book closes with considerations of objections and practical consequences for faith and life.
