The Inspiration & Authority of Scripture

by René Pache

This book, first of all, examines what the Bible itself says about revelation and about its own inspiration; then, while enunciating the testimony given to it by Christ and by the church throughout the centuries, it sums up theories proposed regarding it; and, finally, brings out the supernatural characteristics which attest to the divine origin of Scripture and which establish its sovereign authority.

I was introduced to this book over 35 years ago at a Bible Institute. I have read countless other books since then but this book still ranks as the most basic, clear, understandable and well thought out discussions on the Inspiration and Authority of Scripture. As a teacher this is the first book I give to those who study under me. I read this book again about every five years to refresh myself and gain more perspective.

Clear, understandable, yet not so simple that it’s content is dull or uninteresting. Great book that delves into the inspiration and authority of Scripture — looking at these subjects from every angle, vantage point, and perspective. Taking into account views of critics, textual criticism, Biblical support, and more. Highly recommend for a fairly full look at the inspiration and authority of Scripture.

[Bendick Ong · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent defence on the authority of the Bible from God's revelation to verbal plenary inspiration to transmission of the text to the canonisation and finally to the illumination of the believer. Includes a good bibliography and index too. The book to read for both one who wants to grow in the faith and also one who is taking the first steps in Christian apologetics.

I had to read this one for Theology class. Pache cites Scripture in context and relies on it all the way through.
