Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Revelation and Inspiration Man has no deeper or wider interest than theology; none deeper, for however much he may change, he never loses his love of the many questions it covers and none wider, for under whatever law he may live he never escapes from its spacious shade; nor does he ever find that it speaks to him in vain or uses a voice that fails to reach him. Once the present writer was talking with a friend who has equal fame as a statesman and a man of letters, and he said, Every day I live, Politics, which are affairs of Man and Time, interest me less, while Theology, which'is an affair of God and Eternity, interests me more. As with him, so with many, though the many feel that their interest is in theology and not in dogma. Dogma, they know, is but a series of resolutions framed by a council or parliament, which they do not respect any the more because the parliament was composed of ecclesiastically-minded persons 5 while the theology which so interests them is a discourse touching God, though the Being so named is the God man con ceived as not only related to himself and his world but also as rising ever higher with the notions of the self and the world. Wise books, not in dogma but in theology. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In every department of science and art, of philosophy and theology, of criticism and interpretation, we are required to give a reason for the truths believed and the courses pursued. This within proper limits cannot reasonably be objected to; it is both sensible and scriptural.

Download or read book The Divine Inspiration of the Bible Classic Reprint written by Arthur Walkington Pink and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Divine Inspiration of the Bible If the Bible is the Word of God; if it stands on an in finitely exalted plane, all alone; if it immeasurably tran scends all the greatest productions of human genius; then, we should naturally expect to find that it has unique cre dentials, that there are internal marks which prove it to be the handiwork of God, that there is conclusive evidence to show that its Author is superhuman, Divine. That these expectations are realized we shall now endeavor to show; that there is no reason whatever for any one to doubt the Divine inspiration of the Scriptures is the purpose of this book to demonstrate. As we examine the natural world we find innumerable proofs of the existence of a Personal Creator, and the same God who has manifested Himself thro' His works has also revealed His wisdom and will thro' His Word. The God of creation and the God of written revelation are One, and there are irrefutable arguments to show that the Almighty who made the heavens and the earth. Is also the Author of the Bible.

Download or read book Nature of the Divine Inspiration of Scripture Classic Reprint written by James Macgregor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature of the Divine Inspiration of Scripture It is quite conceivable that a primitive divine revelation should have been left to be recorded by simply human inspira tion or authorship. It is of great importance to remember that the character and history of the Christian Church, and the records contained in our Scriptures, though these should be regarded as simply human in their authorship, cannot be reasonably accounted for except upon the supposition of an original divine revelation, involving a miraculous intervention of God in history for the redemption of lost men. From the external apologetic point of view this is so important that Christian apologists are naturally impatient or doubtful in relation to a view received from within the heart of the Christian system. But the view received from within the heart of the Christian system is that upon which the apologists themselves, so far as they are Christian, live, and which has all along lain at the root of Christian life in God. And that view is that the record of revelation is divine. It is conceivable that the record should be so connected with the revelation that the one has genetically sprung from the other by a sort of physical necessity; so that the revelation being given, the record in its distinctive character follows as matter of course. It is conceivable, in other words, that the revelation should be energic to such an extent as to determine the very terms of the record. This however does not follow from the received doctrine of inspiration. Consistently with that doctrine the revelation and the record are not so connected by a bond of physical necessity God having given the revela tion direct from Himself might conceivably have left the record to be originated by simply human authorship.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Divine Revelation: Its Evidences, External, Internal, and Collateral Together With Its Canonical Authority and Plenary Inspiration The design of this Work being to furnish a d104-book, on the Evidences of Divine Revelation, to students in the literary and philosophical classes in this University, it has been composed by the Author with a special view to this important object. He felt it necessary to combine comprehensiveness with brevity; to give a complete view of the evidences of the truth and divine authority of the Old Testament and the New, in as narrow a compass as is consistent with the elucidation of the numerous topics to which reference must necessarily be made in such a work. The most effectual, indeed the only effectual, method of conducting the studies of young men who have not yet completed the curriculum of arts, in the Evidences of Divine Revelation, is, to combine regular examination on a text-book with such additional and familiar illustrations as the teacher may deem it necessary to give. By devoting a very moderate portion of time weekly to this exercise, during the currency of two sessions, considerable knowledge may be acquired in this important branch of a Christian and liberal education.

Download or read book The Social Message of the Book of Revelation Classic Reprint written by Raymond Calkins and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Social Message of the Book of Revelation The Book of Revelation is one of the least used and least understood books in all the Bible. Every Bible reader recalls with gratitude a few chapters at the beginning of the book with their beautiful promises "to him that overcometh"; and every one reads a few chapters at the end of the book which tell of the heavenly city, the new Jerusalem, where there shall be no more curse or pain or death. But the book as a whole is a closed book to all but a small minority of Bible readers. To most people, this book, with the exception of the chapters to which I have referred, is a jargon of strange figures of speech - a fantastic conglomeration of beasts with men's heads, of dragons cast into fathomless pits, of serpents casting floods out of their mouths, of locusts with the hair of women and tails like scorpions. It is a vast arena that resounds to noise of battle as trumpets sound, and seals are broken and vials are emptied. "To most people its bizarre imagery, its complicated structure, its general unintelligibility make it a gigantic riddle. It seems to them, perhaps, to form a strange anti-climax to that splendid literature of the soul which preceded it. They are at home in the Gospels and in the Epistles; but in this strange world of earthquake and eclipse, of fury and agony, of tramping armies and thundering angel-music, they are perplexed and repelled."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of the Revelation The Book of Revelation is not one the whole meaning of which lies upon the surface. It differs from the other books of the New Testament in this, that the ideas it contains are expressed not only in words, but in words and symbols. The meaning of the symbols must have been clear to the first readers, but is not longer obvious to us. It can only be ascertained when patient investigation in many fields has reconstructed the political, social, and religious environment of the Christian communities in "Asia" at the end of the first century. That reconstruction is not yet complete, but the remarkable progress of recent years makes it already possible to interpret with considerable certainty nearly all the symbols which are used, and thus to read the book approximately as it was read by those to whom it was first addressed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Revelation and the Ideal For many years I cherished the audacious dream of writing a book on the philosophy of Revela tion. More than ten years of study and reflection ended in the conviction that the task I had set m yself demanded for its accomplishment the nu divided devotion of a lon g life. The task had to be abandoned; I was compelled to allow the dream to fade. Something, however, had been gained what could not be discussed in the form of a treatise might be presented in a series of visions close to life and warm with serious con cern for the high moral possibilities of man. Such is the origin of this book; it is the second choice of its author, not the first. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pauline Theory of the Inspiration of Holy Scripture A subject which related to the operations of the Divine Spirit on the spirit of man, is, no doubt, intrinsically abstruse. Nevertheless, it has for many years appeared to me that there must be some influential cause besides at work, largely contributing to the present unsettled state of opinion on inspiration. What in the pure light of Scripture is clear, may become cloudy when compressed within the artificial enclosure of an arbitrary definition. Thus it really happened that the Pauline idea of inspiration has been lost sight of in the surrounding gloom of human improvement. In fact, the impossibility of adjusting the deductions of reason which proceed on uncertain principles, to the explicit statements of Holy Scripture, accounts for much of the present discontent occasioned by the inconsistencies abounding in many modern treatises on the subject.
