The Scripture Testimony to the Messiah: an Inquiry With a View to a Satisfactory Determination of the Doctrine Taught in the Holy Scriptures Concerning the Person of Christ: Volume 2

The Scripture Testimony To The Messiah: An Inquiry With A View To A Satisfactory Determination Of The Doctrine Taught In The Holy Scriptures Concerning The Person Of Christ by John Pye Smith. This work presents an inductive investigation into the person of Christ, aiming to determine from Scripture what the Bible teaches about the Messiah’s person. In Book III, the author analyzes information to be obtained concerning the person from the Evangelical histories and Jesus’ own assertions, arguing that Jesus was truly human while also possessing a real, pre-existent divine nature. Smith surveys the Gospel narratives, the authenticity of disputed passages (the miracles and virgin birth, the Deity of the Son, the Gospel of Ebionites and Marcionites), and the Apostles’ testimonies, to assemble a coherent case for the Messiah’s dual nature; emphasizing the primacy of revelation, prophetic fulfillment, and the unity of the divine and human natures in Christ.
