Synopsis
A clear, thoughtful case for the authority of Scripture in modern theology.
This inaugural address argues that the Bible’s divine authority remains central, even as biblical scholarship evolves to meet contemporary questions.
This edition revisits the well-known address with added notes and explanations. It also presents the related charges and responses from the time, offering readers a window into debates within 19th‑century Protestant theology without straying from the core message: scripture as the infallible rule of faith and practice.- Foundations of biblical theology and how it seeks to interpret the Bible as a whole
- Distinct roles of Scripture, church authority, and human reason in shaping belief
- Historical and methodological discussion of how biblical authority is understood
- Accounts of the surrounding controversy and how these views were defended

The Authority of Holy Scripture: An Inaugural Address (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book marks the inception of the Edward Robinson Chair of Biblical Theology, established in 1890 thanks to a generous endowment provided by the venerable Charles Butler. The author, Reverend Briggs, was handpicked by Butler himself for the inaugural incumbency of the newly formed chair, which was named after one of the most celebrated scholars of Biblical literature, Edward Robinson. Reverend Briggs explores the discipline of Biblical Theology, scrutinizing its inception and development to determine how the field can be advanced further. The book considers how the discipline of Biblical theology unites the work of exegesis. It rises through an inductive process across the complete spectrum of Biblical study, providing a systematic and comprehensive grasp of the entire Bible. Notably, Briggs argues that the theology of the Bible is the only infallible authority, whereas the theology of the creeds is merely ecclesiastical and the theology of theologians is fallible. This book is an invaluable resource for students of theology, challenging traditional dogmatic approaches to scripture.
