23
Q

The fact of inspiration

A
  • The Bible is written record of God speaking to humans in specific historical circumstances
  • The Bible has a human and divine dimension
24
Q

Inspiration definition

A

God transmits and humans receive the message. It describes the process by which the words of God became the human words of the Bible

25
Q

Distinguish between revelation and inspiration (B)

A
  • Revelation is solely the domain of God (he chooses to reveal himself to creation)
  • Inspiration is a joint process by which God initiates the revelation towards humanity and humans are inspired to report what they have received in their own words
  • Revelation comes in many forms (words, visions, dreams)
  • Inspiration comes in similar forms but is related in human words and pictures so the audience can understand the message
26
Q

The Bible as written record of God’s revelation to us is…

A

A combination of sovereign will and human obedience

27
Q

Consciousness of inspiration (B)

A
  • Biblical authors were conscious that there was an identity between the word of God and their own words
  • e.g. “Thus says the LORD” in the OT
  • Sometimes revelation is heightened (vision vs. speaking directly)
  • Jesus promised the apostles that there would be an identity between their words and his words
  • Inspiration in this context is limited to biblical revelation (inspiration from the Holy Spirit today has separate meaning)
  • Consciousness of inspiration is directly related to awareness of God’s presence in life
  • Consciousness that spoken and written word are directly from God

  • Use of scribes (Silas for Paul), collecting earlier literature (Solomon’s proverbs)
  • Could also be carefully researched history (Luke/Acts)
  • Selection is also an act of inspiration
  • This process of inspiration is often complex
33
Q

Model of inspiration

A
  • Affirms Scripture is fully human and divine
  • Dual nature of Jesus is the model that helps us understand the paradoxical nature of Scripture
