Synopsis

This book argues that the traditional idea of verbal inspiration of the Bible, in either its mechanical or plenary form, is outdated and incompatible with modern critical study of the Bible. The author claims that recent scholarship has proven that the Bible contains factual and historical errors and that it is a product of human authors writing within their own cultural and historical contexts. The book explores the implications of this new understanding of the Bible's inspiration, arguing that it is possible to maintain the authority and value of the Bible, even while acknowledging its limitations. The book concludes by suggesting that a new definition of inspiration is needed, one that recognizes the human and divine elements of the Bible and that sees the Bible as a progressive revelation of God's grace and truth.
