The Inspiration Of Holy Scripture. Constancy In Prayer: Its Importance Considered With Especial Reference To The Temptations Of A Student's Life. Two Sermons On Thess. II. 13. And Dan. VI. 10, Etc by Charles Abel Heurtley. This volume contains two sermons preached before the University of Oxford by Charles Abel Heurtley, D.D., Margeret Professor of Divinity and Canon of Christ Church. The first sermon defends the inspiration and authority of Holy Scripture, arguing for the plenary inspiration of both Old and New Testaments and the guidance of the Holy Spirit in the apostolic writings. It surveys historical challenges, explains how the Apostles and their writings are under divine influence, and urges reverence for Scripture as the Word of God, applying it to faith and life. The second sermon, "Constancy in Prayer", reflects on Daniel 6:10 and the perilous temptations facing students. It extols regular, earnest prayer as the chief safeguard against distraction, describes Daniel's disciplined prayer life, and urges students and ministers to establish fixed seasons of conversation with God, cultivate a daily devotional rhythm, and seek divine strength to resist temptation. Together the sermons present positive, practical guidance on Scripture's authority and the vitality of prayer for the student life.
