Inspiration

The naïve reader of the Bible will assume that God dictated to each writer the exact words he wanted him to record. If this were true, we would not be able to detect the personality of the writer. Neither would we be able to detect the culture in which a particular text was written. But we can see these and more.

The Bible claims to be the inspired Word of God, but we must think carefully what that means.

I intend to explore this subject at length at a later date.
