The Plenary Inspiration of the Scriptures Asserted, and the Principles of Their Composition Investigated (Classic Reprint): With a View to the ... ) Delivered at Albion Hall, London Wall - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Explore a scholarly case for the plenary inspiration of Scripture and the spiritual sense behind its texts. This concise treatment argues that the Bible’s words point to deeper meanings, and it outlines a method of interpretation based on universal, spiritual analogies rather than literalism alone. The work addresses how prophetic and historical parts alike can carry a double sense that reveals divine authorship.

The volume frames how to apply a consistent rule of spiritual analogy to both prophecy and history. It discusses the limits of scientific or natural reasoning in proving inspiration, while defending the view that the writings of Scripture are authoritatively guided by a divine source. Readers will encounter detailed discussion of miracles, symbols, and the relation between outward form and inward meaning, with a focus on avoiding speculative excess.

• Learn how spiritual interpretation can illuminate both prophetic and historical passages.


• See how miracles and symbols are treated as demonstrations of divine intent and truth.


• Understand the balance between universal applicability and cautious, grounded criticism.


• Engage with a historical dialogue about the nature of divine inspiration and interpretation.

Ideal for readers of theological history and those exploring the foundations of biblical interpretation.
