Part Two
Bibliology: 7 INSPIRATION
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker

Orr adopts the view that the subject of Inspiration must be approached through that of Revelation. He says:

The older method was to prove first the inspiration (by historical evidence, miracles, claims of writers), then through that establish revelation. This view still finds an echo in the note sometimes heard-If the inspiration of the Bible (commonly some theory of inspiration) be given up, what have we left to hold by? It is urged, e.g., that unless we can demonstrate what is called the “inerrancy” of the Biblical record, down even to its minutest details, the whole edifice of belief in revealed religion falls to the ground. This, on the face of it, is a most suicidal position for any defender of revelation to take up.¹²
