Excerpt from The Inspiration of the Word of God: A Brief Essay The matter here treated, has reference only to the doctrine of inspiration, with its corollaries: the efficacy and authority of Scripture. The Scriptural material on which the argument is based, by no means exhausts the great wealth of evidence and testimony, still, a sufficient number of prominent passages has been adduced to show what Holy Scripture conclusively teaches on the subject. In the quotation of texts, the exact place where they are written, has not been inserted, since it was my desire to secure an uninterrupted connection in the sequence of thought presented by the paper. The term "inspiration" denotes the act of God speaking through man. The qualifying terms "verbal" and "plenary, " used in defining the accepted sense of the term inspiration, both signify one and the same thing: complete, comprehensive inspiration, but each serves to make prominent a particular feature thereof. The term verbal emphasizes that the very words are given by inspiration of God. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
