Views on Biblical Inspiration
- Kevin DeYoung explains the three views on Biblical inspiration: dynamic, mechanical dictation, and concursive operation.
- The dynamic view, often associated with liberalism, suggests a general divine influence but not infallible words.
Mechanical Dictation vs. Concursive Operation
- Mechanical dictation views the Bible as directly dictated by God, similar to the Muslim view of the Quran.
- However, most Christian theologians reject this, believing God worked through the authors' intellect and skills.
Concursive Operation
- Concursive operation describes God working through human authors while preserving their unique skills.
- This means the Bible is both human (using human language) and divine (authored by God).
