Reviews

[Stephen Bedard]

This is an older but still useful book. While arguing strongly for inspiration, they acknowledge that belief in inspiration is not required for Christians nor should it be the starting point for our discussions with non-Christians.

[Robert Luff]

Helpful, but its brevity weakened it. Warfield refutes several accusations of discrepancy, and he does so powerfully. But the short book (or article, as it was originally published) left me wanting more, mostly because Warfield argue so powerfully. In other words, Warfield is too good to write a short book!

[Parker]

Quite a good overview (despite its brevity) of Plenary Verbal Inspiration from the perspective of Calvinistic Determinism. It seems to me worth the read, even 130 years after its composition.

[A.J. Jr.]

A very short treatise on the subject. A much better book (and better theological position) is The Inspiration of Scripture, by Robert Preus.
