Bibliology: 10 BIBLE EVIDENCES- Continued
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker
The
very fact that the Bible has survived all of the many attempts to destroy and
eradicate it during the centuries is thought by many to be a mark of divine protection
and authentication of the Scriptures. Even at the time of the writing of some
of the books attempts were made to destroy them, as in the case of Jeremiah’s
prophecy (ch. 36:23-26).
A number of the Roman emperors, notably Diocletian, endeavored to exterminate
Christianity and the Bible. In speaking of the first three centuries of the
Christian era Fisher says: “It was the heroic age in the history of the Church,
when, with no aid from an arm of flesh, the whole might of the Roman empire was
victoriously encountered by the unarmed and unresisting adherents of the
Christian’ faith. Imperial Rome, the conqueror of the world, was herself
overcome by the bands of Christian disciples, whose meek but dauntless courage
was more than a match for all her power.”6

York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1926), pp. 50-51.
