Do you have a study Bible? Does it have “introductions” to each book
of the Bible? Read introductions which correspond to
Pelikan’s chapters. Meditate upon at least one scriptural text with which you are unfamiliar.
![Page 5: #1. Whose Bible is It.03 Version](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5468c41ab4af9f0e518b486c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Each week there’s 20-50 pages to read.

Mark in your books, write down questions!

When you study and read scripture, you will be amazed.

Write down your ideas about how the Bible is inspired.
How might this have happened?

How much was directly from God?
How much was distinctly human?
How would we know?
![Page 21: #1. Whose Bible is It.03 Version](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5468c41ab4af9f0e518b486c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The human author becomes possessed by God and loses consciousness of self, surrendering to the divine spirit and its communicatory powers.
![Page 22: #1. Whose Bible is It.03 Version](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5468c41ab4af9f0e518b486c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Holy Spirit predetermined each word that the authors wrote. The authors were thus performing the function of secretary.
![Page 23: #1. Whose Bible is It.03 Version](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5468c41ab4af9f0e518b486c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The authors expressed their thoughts in their own style and words, while the Holy Spirit only intervened as needed, in order to keep them from making mistakes.
![Page 24: #1. Whose Bible is It.03 Version](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5468c41ab4af9f0e518b486c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Authors inspired by Spirit so their normal powers of observation and writing were heightened. Called ‘inspiration by illumination’.
Not inerrant.
![Page 25: #1. Whose Bible is It.03 Version](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5468c41ab4af9f0e518b486c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
‘Both-and’ in the way of the incarnation of Christ. Fully human and fully divine.
A largest percent of Presbyterians (48%) opted for this choice of their view of inspiration in a poll done in the 1980s
![Page 26: #1. Whose Bible is It.03 Version](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5468c41ab4af9f0e518b486c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Portions of the Bible, including some of its theological and ethical positions, may not be the inspired word of God.
Examples: Slavery, Levitical Laws, Women Silent in Church
![Page 27: #1. Whose Bible is It.03 Version](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5468c41ab4af9f0e518b486c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The Bible speaks only to individual salvation and private piety . It is to be used for my own private devotions only.
![Page 28: #1. Whose Bible is It.03 Version](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5468c41ab4af9f0e518b486c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The view that the Bible is “great literature”: no more, no less.
Not inspired, not inerrant.

All of these focus upon the AUTHORSHIP of the Bible.
Paradigm shift in the 1960s to Scriptureas normative witness to Christ.
The Bible is a MEANS rather than the END, of the process of inspiration.
