Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 The Bible's inspiration is the divine guidance of the writers of Scripture through the movement of God's Spirit. It was particularly the Holy Spirit who superintended the authors as they composed their writings. #2 The doctrine of the inspiration of Scripture is evident in the Old Testament writings. The prophets and apostles, who wrote the Bible, were influenced by the Holy Spirit, but their work was also influenced by human research, observation, and memory. #3 The New Testament was written by the apostles under the supervision of the Holy Spirit, who knew completely the things of God. The apostles were confident that what they wrote was a truthful and authoritative witness to Jesus and his work. #4 The denial of the superintending work of the Holy Spirit. This position dismisses all divine action in the writing of Scripture, reducing it to a merely human book. It refuses to listen to Scripture's own affirmation about itself, and it demonstrates a very low view of divine action among human beings
