Was B.B. Warfield’s View of the Autograph the Same as the Protestant Orthodox?

To answer this question Richard Muller [PRRD, Holy Scripture, pp. 413-414] observes, The case for Scripture as an infallible rule of faith and practice and the separate argument for a received text free from major (i.e., non-scribal) errors rests on an examination of the apographa [i.e., copies of copies] and does not seek the infiniteContinue reading “Was B.B.
