It aims to show how to distinguish divine communication from human ideas, using a structured criterion that can be examined and tested.- The existence of revelation as a historical and religious fact.
- What inspiration means, including its inner, often unseen, experience.
- How the canon developed across the Old and New Testaments.
- How scholars weigh testimony, tradition, and textual evidence to form a reliable core set of writings.
