Who Wrote The Bible - Washington Gladden - Paperback - en Book

The Bible Is Not An Infallible Book, In The Sense In Which It Is Popularly Supposed To Be Infallible. When We Study The History Of The Several Books, (the History Of The Canon, The History Of The Distribution And Reproduction Of The Manuscript Copies, And The History Of The Versions, When We Discover That The 'various Readings' Of The Differing Manuscripts Amount To One Hundred And Fifty Thousand, The Impossibility Of Maintaining The Verbal Inerrancy Of The Bible Becomes Evident. We See How Human Ignorance And Error Have Been Suffered To Mingle With This Stream Of Living Water Throughout All Its Course; If Our Assurance Of Salvation Were Made To Depend Upon Our Knowledge That Every Word Of The Bible Was Of Divine Origin, Our Hopes Of Eternal Life Would Be Altogether Insecure.
