The developments of the early twentieth century were actually the result of a long process of secularization that has been taking place in Western civilization since the seventeenth century. Of course, there have been infidels in all ages of history, but the focus here is upon the state of the cultu...

During the course of the history of Israel, the authors of the Old Testament made constant references to the portions of the Hebrew Scriptures that had already been written. From these citations, it is easy to demonstrate that the Old Testament treats itself as "the written record of the words of Go...

Many people argue against the miracles of the Bible by asking why there have been no miracles since the time the Bible was written. However, there is an abundance of evidence that miracles have been happening throughout the history of the Church. For example, Irenaeus wrote in Against Heresies 5:6:1...

Of course, Jesus is not the only one who attests to His divinity. All of the Scriptures attest to it. In fact, the Hebrew prophets expected the Messiah to be God. Isaiah 9:6 says: For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government will be upon his shoulder, and his name will be cal...

H. H. Price has stated that "a Deity who intervened miraculously and suspended natural law could never be accepted by Science."1 In his reply to Professor Price, C. S. Lewis observed that you cannot discover a railway accident by studying railway timetables: To discover a regularity is by definitio...

Many books and articles have been written on the use of the Old Testament made by the New Testament writers.1 In the present context, the discussion will be limited to an examination of how the apostles and the other writers of the new Testament had the same high view of the Old Testament as did Jes...

It should be evident from the foregoing study of God's judgement upon sin in history that Biblical principles have been in effect, not just during the time that the Bible was written, but at all times. Further evidence of this is available in any study of the providence of God in history. Some of th...

The New Testament writers recognized their own writings as Scripture. Paul, in II Corinthians 3:5,6 states that his competency comes from God. In fact, according to Paul, the very words that he used were taught by the Spirit: This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in word...

Many theologians suggest that whatever truth may be found in the Bible is relative to the world view of the culture in which it was written. According to them, God has accommodated himself to the mistaken notions of the ancient Near East in His communication to us through the Bible. This viewpoint w...

Riss, A Survey of 20th-Century Revival Movements in North America (Peabody, Mass.: Hendrickson Publishers, 1988), as follows: Introduction: pp. 1-7Early Awakenings: pp. 7-11The Great Awakening: pp. 11-12The Second Evangelical Awakening and other 19th Century revivals: p...

In II Timothy 3:16, it is stated that "all Scripture is inspired by God." The Greek word , translated here "inspired by God," literally means "God-breathed." That is, the Scriptures are a product of the creative activity of the divine breath. As Alan Stibbs has observed, this "indicates that Scriptu...

Jesus Christ assumed the absolute authority of the Old Testament as God's word. Along these lines, Roger Nicole has written: At the very threshold of his public ministry, our Lord, in his dramatic victory over Satan's threefold onslaught, rested his whole defense on the authority of three passages ...
