Inspiration: Its Nature and Extent

Name: Inspiration: Its Nature and Extent
Author: Edward Hoare

A theological examination argues that knowledge of God and the plan of salvation lies beyond unaided human reason and depends on divine revelation. It analyzes the divine element of inspiration, the human element in Scripture’s composition, and how the two combine, then addresses objections and difficulties raised against inspired authority. The author defends the Bible as a necessary communication from God, maintains that scientific and philosophical methods cannot replace revelation, and aims to show why confidence in Scripture matters for Christian hope and doctrine.
