The Plenary Inspiration of the Scriptures Asserted, and the Principles of Their Composition Investigated (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Explore a scholarly case for the plenary inspiration of Scripture and the spiritual sense behind its texts. This concise treatment argues that the Bible’s words point to deeper meanings, and it outlines a method of interpretation based on universal, spiritual analogies rather than literalism alone. The work addresses how prophetic and historical parts alike can carry a double sense that reveals divine authorship.
The volume frames how to apply a consistent rule of spiritual analogy to both prophecy and history. It discusses the limits of scientific or natural reasoning in proving inspiration, while defending the view that the writings of Scripture are authoritatively guided by a divine source. Readers will encounter detailed discussion of miracles, symbols, and the relation between outward form and inward meaning, with a focus on avoiding speculative excess.
- Learn how spiritual interpretation can illuminate both prophetic and historical passages.
- See how miracles and symbols are treated as demonstrations of divine intent and truth.
- Understand the balance between universal applicability and cautious, grounded criticism.
- Engage with a historical dialogue about the nature of divine inspiration and interpretation.
Ideal for readers of theological history and those exploring the foundations of biblical interpretation.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book seeks to establish the divine inspiration of the Holy Scriptures. The author notes an increase in negative sentiment and hostility towards religion, and a concurrent lessening of belief in the divine inspiration of the Scriptures. The author asserts that the Scriptures are the inerrant Word of God, and that this is not only the claim of the Scriptures themselves, but is borne out by the inherent wisdom of the text and its ability to fulfill only the claims that a truly divinely inspired text could fulfill. The author presents arguments to refute the objections of the day, including that the Scriptures contain contradictions, are filled with insignificant details, and do not align with our scientific and moral sensibilities. Instead, the author argues that these objections arise from superficial readings and ignorance of the true nature of the Scriptures. This book is unique in its comprehensive view of both the objections to and proofs of scriptural inspiration, and presents a refreshing, incisive, and thought-provoking look at the topic. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
