Excerpt from The Inspiration of Scripture: An Examination Into Its Meaning, Origin and Theories Thereon
The writer has been at some considerable pains in collecting information on the various views pro pounded, and he has been vain enough to think that the result may be of service to others. Divinity students, candidates for holy orders, and thoughtful readers may not be disposed to wade through every treatise for and against the tenet, but may be dis posed to have a summary of them all. It is with that hope that the following pages are printed.
When a subject has been for years in a person's thoughts, he will have digested the results of others to such an extent that he becomes unconscious of their origin. However, a list of works is appended, the contents of which have been freely used and, it is hoped, freely acknowledged. It would be pre sumptuous indeed to lay claim to any great origin ality the writer would therefore say, as Montesquieu says somewhere I have gathered a nosegay of flowers, and mine is the string that ties them.' Should this essay live to see a second edition, some of the chapters may be considerably expanded.
