The Utterance of God
The Utterance of God
More than 50 years ago, Dr. Thomas B. Warren commented that he had “studied books by the dozens in which men have sought to prove the inspiration and authority of the Bible. Yet I have been keenly disappointed in all of these books in at least one point. . . .” What was his disappointment in these books? He said it was “namely the fact no basic logical argument was set out to explain why what men did actually showed that the Bible was the inspired word of God. Spurred by that failure . . . I was motivated to give thought to this matter over a period not only of months, but of years. . . . I am convinced that I did develop the basic argument for such proof.”
The Utterance of God is the realization of Dr. Warren’s dream to produce a book with the logical argument, and the proof for the argument, that assures YOU the Bible is the word of God.
Over 20 qualified writers contribute chapters such as “The Basic Argument which Proves the Bible Is Inspired, Infallible, and Authoritative;” “What the Bible Claims for Itself;” “The Meaning of Inspiration and Revelation;” and “The Presentation of Jesus Christ in the Bible.” Other topics discussed include Bible view of epistemology, of God, of origins, man, and of salvation; predictive prophecy; unity; astronomy; medical science; all-sufficiency; inexhaustibility; literary superiority; ethical superiority; inerrancy; universality; text, canon, and preservation of the Bible; a special study of the influence of the Bible on America’s Founders.
"Discussing the inspiration of Scripture is not moot or trivial. Indeed, one can find no greater inquiry in life than whether the Bible is true and whether what it teaches is true. It affects our very existence, our understanding of the truth, and our morality. . . . The Bible stands as God’s message for all time to all people. Its supernatural character, truthfulness, and authority stand without peer, as the evidences found in the cumulative chapters this book will show. God has not left us in spiritual darkness but revealed an all-sufficient, timeless message of love, salvation, and hope for those who believe and obey. There is no substitute for the sacred Scriptures; no other book reveals its divine origin by its abundant evidences. Its supernatural character, as Thomas B. Warren argued, provide an undeniable and convincing argument for the existence of God. Only God, as an infinitely wise, omniscient, eternal Being, could provide for us an inspired, inerrant, authoritative, and timeless spiritual and moral guide containing the words of eternal life. "
