Excerpt from The Inspiration and Authority of Holy Scripture
Canons came to be accepted by the Church as part of the one Revelation of God: and the fact that for fifteen centuries no attempt was made to formulate a definition of the doctrine of the inspiration of the Bible, testifies to the universal belief of the Church that the Scriptures were the handiwork of the Holy Ghost. For this freedom from definition we may indeed be thankful, since, it is far more important.

Excerpt from The Inspiration and Authority of Holy Scripture: A Study in the Literature of the First Five Centuries
A Christian finds in Holy Scripture the classical documents of his religion: its Books are the title-deeds of his faith. He believes that in them is contained a record of Divine Revelation made by men under the impulse of the Spirit of God. His belief is enshrined in the words of the Nicene Creed, "I believe in the Holy Ghost... Who spake by the prophets." To the Church, for the first century and a half of its existence, the Law and the Prophets were still the only Canonical Scriptures; later on, when the Gospels came to be received as the Christian Canon, they were "welcomed as a further instalment of the Holy Spirit's work," Who spake (to quote the words of the Cappadocian Creed) "in the Law and in the Prophets and in the Gospels"; the Church believed that the Spirit Who inspired the Prophets is identical with the Paraclete Who descended on the Apostles.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the development of the doctrine of Biblical Inspiration in the early Christian Church, from its roots in the Old Testament to its full expression in the work of the early Church fathers. The author examines the writings of Philo, Josephus, and the New Testament authors to show the development of the idea of the sacred character of the text, which led to an almost superstitious reverence for the letter of Holy Scripture. This mechanical view of inspiration assumed such disastrous proportions that the author thanks providence that no authoritative definition of inspiration was ever made.
