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...

Everybody knows that all historical events are interrelated. They have observable consequences in the real world. Whenever it is asserted that something has happened in the past, we can always test the assertion by determining whether or not subsequent events are best explained by it. For example, i...

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...

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...

George M. Marsden provided an interesting contrast when he compared a few statements made about the status of Christianity in American culture, two in 1873, and another only about fifty years later. The first statement was made by Theodore Woolsey, the retired president of Yale University: "In what ...

Heretics, Jews, pagans, and Christians all inadvertently confirm the trustworthiness of the Bible by their incidental references to many of the same things to which the Bible refers. One of the most exhaustive studies of this topic was done by Thomas S. Millington, in his book, The Testimony of the ...

Many people believe that the data obtained from the radiometric dating of rocks indicates (1) that the earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old, (2) that the ages of the earth's geologic strata have been positively determined, indicating that fossils within these strata are in the sequence one w...

A great deal has been written about the theology of the various Christian cults, with a view to demonstrating how they veer off from true Christian orthodoxy.1 While it is important to be aware of the heterodox nature of the theology of many of these cults, the discussion is often left here, as thou...

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...

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...

The subject of Biblical archaeology is a vast one, so it will be necessary to confine comments here to only a few of the multitude of cases in which archaeological discoveries have vindicated Biblical claims. At many times in the past, scholars have assumed the Bible to be inaccurate until new archa...

The Scopes Trial of 1925 has made an almost indelible impression upon the consciousness of modern Americans as an indication of the hopelessly anti-intellectual, obscurantist, and bigoted nature of "Fundamentalism," or the literal belief in the Bible. However, the image that most of us have of the t...
