Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Chaff and Wheat: A Defense of Verbal Inspiration
Is He indifferent to the testimony of those who mislead their followers by their own fancies? I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. The knowledge of the divine will, which they claimed to receive in dreams, may have been imparted to others in the most attractive form. Their dis courses may have been adorned with all the graces of oratory, with all the beauties of poetry, with all the energy of reason, with all the force of the highest criticism and the broadest culture; but still they had no greater authority than a dream. The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him Speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? Saith the Lord. Jer. Xxiii. 16-28.
