Louis Gaussen, Divine Inspiration of the Bible, 1841
Published in 1841, 40 years before the notorious novel 1881 Greek NT the pre-critical theology of inspiration was still being articulated. On two pages we find 1. The failure of scholarship; 2. Jot and tittle infallibility; 3. The creative element of inspiration down to the very words (dictation); 4. Scripture’s self-attestation and self-authentication. Only the intellectually blind will miss the conspicuous corruption of orthodox Bibliology between 1841 and 1881. As if turning off the lights of spiritual illumination, the Church was confronted with academic prejudices and factual ambivalences as if such confusion was normative to the Christian faith. It’s past time to wake up brothers and sisters and accept the fact much of the Church has been duped and return to the orthodox Bibliology taught in the KJB and promulgated by our theological forefathers.
