Inspiration, Not Guidance, Nor Intuition

Inspiration, Not Guidance, Nor Intuition: Or The Plenary Inspiration Of The Holy Scriptures (1858) is a book written by Eleazar Lord. The book explores the concept of plenary inspiration of the Holy Scriptures, which refers to the belief that every word in the Bible is inspired by God. Lord argues that this belief is essential to the Christian faith, and that it is not enough to view the Bible as simply a guide or a source of intuition. Instead, he contends that the Bible is a divinely inspired text that contains the authoritative word of God. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the plenary inspiration of the Bible. Lord begins by defining the concept and providing historical context for its development. He then examines various objections to the doctrine, including the idea that it is incompatible with human reason and that it leads to a rigid, dogmatic interpretation of the Bible. Throughout the book, Lord draws on a range of theological and philosophical sources to support his arguments. He also provides numerous examples from the Bible to illustrate the importance of plenary inspiration, and to demonstrate how it can be applied to various aspects of Christian life and practice. Overall, Inspiration, Not Guidance, Nor Intuition is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the plenary inspiration of the Holy Scriptures. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the role of the Bible in Christian faith and practice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
