Excerpt from Inspiration Considered as a Trend The trend toward God in all forms of human thought is just as distinct. This volume aims to carry out and newly apply the thought of trend as there expressed. The form of argument used there for the Divine exist ence is used here for the Divine inspiration. It is insisted that trend, the strongest proof in the one case, is the strongest proof in the other. What if the method God intended us to use in proving his own being and his own revelation is one? So too, it may be that the trend in the various theories of inspiration proposed by devout students of the Bible and that shown by the Bible itself, deserve notice. No new theory is here pro posed; but the theories devoutly held and the facts declared and involved in the Scriptures and con firmed in the Christian experience, are passed in brief review - to find in them all an unmistakable trend.
