If the Bible is authored by fallible humans, how can it convey divine revelation? Warfield faced the modernist skepticism challenging biblical inspiration and authority, where scholars used textual and linguistic analysis to emphasize human authorship, diminishing miracles, authenticity, and divine intervention. In response, Warfield argued that the intellect of biblical authors was fully engaged and that God worked through human words to convey revelation. His work on divine revelation and biblical inspiration shaped the twentieth-century understanding of biblical infallibility, inerrancy, and the authority of Scripture. Warfield's perspective on inspiration and authority continues to resonate with many Reformed and evangelical Christians today. This volume includes ten of his influential articles on the topic and two appendices—one addressing the divine origin of the Bible and the other discussing the canonicity of the New Testament. The articles cover various aspects, including the biblical idea of revelation, the church doctrine of inspiration, and key terms used in the New Testament regarding Scripture. Warfield’s insights remain pivotal in discussions about the nature and reliability of biblical texts.
