Book Excerpt
It is not my present object to attempt to prove the inspiration of Scripture. It is a great and noble subject, and one which I should rejoice to investigate. But it is not the subject of this paper. My object is to examine the extent and nature of inspiration, and to that I must exclusively confine myself. I take it for granted therefore that inspiration is an admitted fact, so that my only business is to consider how far it carries us, and what security it gives us for certain, reliable, infallible truth, in all the statements of the inspired word.
It has been said that 'Inspiration is that idea of Scripture which we gather from the knowledge of it,' and an attempt has been made to show how by such a definition all difficulties are overcome. I freely grant that such a theory does present a very easy and ready method of getting rid of difficulty, for, if we decide on reducing the authority of Scripture to our own ideas respecting it, it is not likely that there will be much left to embarrass us. There is however one difficulty, and that a most important one, which it cannot solve. It can give no solid foundation for the anxious soul to rest on, and must leave us floating into eternity with no better support than a vague idea of our own creation.
