Divine Inspiration
Organic Inspiration
Bibliology · 6 verses
The Holy Spirit employed the distinct personalities, vocabularies, and historical contexts of the human authors as instruments of divine revelation. This organic process preserved the humanity of Scripture while ensuring its divinity, demonstrating that God works through means rather than obliterating human agency. The result is Scripture that is simultaneously fully divine and authentically human in its literary expression.
