Gutenberg Bible of the New
             York Public Library, bought by
             James Lenox in 1847. The first to
             come to the USA, national folklore
             has it that the officers at the New
             York Customs House removed their
             hats on seeing it.



   CHRISTIAN SCRIPTURE
Divine Word and Human Words
Bibliology
The study of the Bible for more
than simply academic purposes.
“Without a proper view of the
Bible our views about God, Jesus,
salvation, eternity, [and a host of
other topics] become clouded and
distorted.”
Bibliology – Helpful Information
Bible = “book”
     = the Written Word of God
     = holds the key to knowing
       for certain that God exists
     = God speaking and revealed!
Bibliology – Helpful Information
Why a written record?
    To reach all generations, that
    would touch people
    everywhere.
Bibliology – Helpful Information
The Bible inspired:
1. Inspiration
2. “Plenary” inspiration
3. “Verbal” inspiration
4. “Plenary, verbal” inspiration
Bibliology – Helpful Information
The Bible inspired:
5. Inerrancy (think practice or
   method)
6. Infallibility (think principle or
   idea)
Bibliology – Helpful Information
The Bible guarded:
The writers were not robots.
The writers were human (some
 more so than others ).
Bibliology

“Is the Bible truly God’s
     Word?”
Internal Evidences:
     1) unity,
    2) detailed prophecies, and
    3) unique authority and power
Bibliology

External Evidences:
1) historicity,
2) integrity of the human
   authors,
3) resilience/indestructibility
Bibliology – Helpful Information
The canon of Scripture
-- “books recognized by TGT as
   inspired”
--Old Testament place and influence
--In our day, became fixed by AD 367
   under Athanasius, and also
   confirmed in AD 397 (Carthage).
Bibliology – Helpful Information
The canon of Scripture
3 criteria for canonicity:
 --Apostolic in origin?
 --Used and recognized by churches?
 --Teach sound doctrine?
Bibliology

“Does the Bible contain errors,
   contradictions, or
   discrepancies?”
   A considered approach valuing
   infallibility over inerrancy
Bibliology

What to do with alleged Bible
errors?
  The “Paramount” Question
  Not, “Is it fully accurate in
      every detail it records?”
  But, “Does it lead into truth?”
Review

   Paramount Question
