Synopsis
Challenging the supernatural: a sharp look at Briggs’s method in Messianic prophecy.
This critical study questions how a leading biblical scholar treats prophecy, miracles, and the origin of religious ideas. It weighs claims of naturalism against appeals to the divine in the development of the Messianic concept.
The text surveys Briggs’s approach to prophecy, prediction, and the idea of a suffering Messiah. It traces how naturalistic explanations are used, and where the author argues that supernatural intervention is or isn’t asserted. The result is a rigorous critique aimed at readers interested in biblical interpretation and the philosophy of religion.- How the idea of prophecy is framed and what counts as evidence.
- Where naturalistic explanations are supported or challenged.
- What the author sees as omissions or ambiguities in Briggs’s arguments.
- How this critique situates biblical criticism within broader theological debates.

The Main Issue: A Straight Question to Professor Briggs (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the central conflict within the Presbyterian Church in the late 1800s over a movement to revise its doctrinal standards. The revisions were primarily driven by a body of scholars who embraced a new type of biblical scholarship that was predicated on the assumption that the natural order of development was continuous. The author argues that this new scholarship, despite its claims to the contrary, would necessarily result in the displacement of traditional theological beliefs about supernatural intervention in human affairs. Through a detailed analysis of Old Testament Messianic prophecy, the book demonstrates how the leading proponent of this new scholarship, Professor Charles Briggs, effectively naturalized away supernatural events, leaving American Christianity at a crossroads. The book's insights are significant for understanding the ongoing tension between religious faith and scientific inquiry, as well as its potential implications for the future of Christianity itself.
