Excerpt from Inspiration: Eight Lectures on the Early History and Origin of the Doctrine of Biblical Inspiration, Being the Bampton Lectures for 1893If it is thought that this is to attempt too much, and that a satisfactory treatment of all parts of the subject was not possible within the compass of eight lectures, the writer can only assent to the criticism. It seemed however to be more important that the subject should be presented, if only in outline, as a fairly complete and coherent whole, than to work out in detail any one Of the parts. That can be done afterwards, and in fact it is being done every day.Another drawback has been the limited time which is allowed for the preparation of the lectures. Be tween the election Of the Bampton Lecturer and the delivery of his first lecture is an interval Of at most ten months. For one who holds, as the present writer does, a double Office with double duties, this interval is curtailed still further. In his case nearly three months more had to be deducted for illness, a loss which however was largely made up to him by the kind indulgence of his College. For the timely relief thus accorded to him he cannot be too grateful.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
