Synopsis

A clear, expert critique of a landmark theological address

The book examines Prof. Charles A. Briggs’s inaugural address, weighing its claims about biblical inspiration, inerrancy, miracles, prophecy, and the intermediate state. It situates Briggs within broader debates in theology and shows how his ideas interact with established creeds and historic scholarship.

The analysis foregrounds the author’s arguments, traces sources, and explains how the address aims to realign questions about Scripture, faith, and church doctrine with new scholarly methods. It also presents contrasting views from earlier theologians and modern critics, helping readers understand the friction between tradition and reform.
  • Accessible overview of major topics: inspiration, inerrancy, miracles, prophecy, and the intermediate state.
  • Clear discussion of how Briggs’s views compare with historic creeds and contemporary criticism.
  • Contextual insight into the debates shaping modern biblical theology.
  • Careful evaluation of the implications for faith and church unity.
Ideal for readers of church history, Bible study, and theological critique who want a concise, thoughtful assessment of a pivotal address.
