Inspiration and Authority of the Bible
History by
B.B. Warfield
How does an ancient writing influence the world even today? How legitimate are the claims that it conveys divine revelations even if humans wrote it? To whom will you listen when it comes to the validation of this ancient writing?
The authority of the Bible was compromised because of two extremities. Firstly, by the elitist theologians and preachers who claimed unusual gifting. And secondly, by modern biblical scholars who had proven the human authorship of the Bible but proceeded with stripping its authenticity, miracles, and historical interventions of God.
True to his name, Warfield fought wars in the religious battlefield by deflecting the attacks of modernist and higher biblical critics about the divine revelation of God. He defended the belief that although the writers are human, the ultimate author is God himself. Warfield emphasized that the authors wrote down what God dictated to them through the aid of the Holy Spirit.
