A Tour of the Missions: Observations and Conclusions
Strong, Augustus Hopkins
East Asia -- Description and travel; Missions
Scripture is the voice and revelation of the eternal
Christ 169
The exclusively inductive process is not truly
historical 170
Both Paul and Peter gained their theology by
deduction 171
Since experience of sin and of Christ is knowledge,
it is material for science 173
The eternal Christ guarantees to us the _unity_ of
Scripture 174
Also the _sufficiency_ of Scripture 175
Also the _authority_ of Scripture 176
The "historical method," as ordinarily employed,
proceeds and ends without Christ 177
It therefore treats Scripture as a man-made book,
and denies its unity, sufficiency, and authority 177
It sees in the Bible not an organism, pulsating with
divine life, but only a congeries of earth-born
fragments 177
XVI. SCRIPTURE AND MISSIONS 179-198
The "historical method" finds in Psalm 110 only
human authorship 181
And contradicts Christ himself by denying the
reference in the psalm to him 182
A document can have more than one author, shown
in art as well as literature 183
Predictions of Christ in the Old Testament
convinced unbelieving Jews 184
The "historical method" finds no prediction of
Christ in Isaiah, and so contradicts John 184
Effect of this method upon the interpretation
of the New Testament 185
It gives us no assurance of Christ's deity, and
ignores Old Testament proofs that he is Prophet,
Priest, and King 185
Value of the "historical method" when not exclusively
inductive 186
Effect of this method, as often employed, upon
systematic theology 187
If Scripture has no unity, no systematic theology
is possible 187
Unitarian acknowledgment that its schools have no
theology at all 189
Effect of this method upon our theological
seminaries to send out disseminators of doubts 189
