What are the 6 views of inspiration?
- Natural Inspiration
- Spiritual illumination
- Partial illumination
- Conceptual inspiration
- Verbal inspiration
- Define dictation
What is natural inspiration?
Human authors inspired same as Poetry.
What is spiritual illumination?
Human authors inspired the same way God inspires Christians today. It differs from naturalization in a matter of degree, but not in kind.
What is partial illumination?
Parts of the Bible are inspired especially in spiritual matters. But historical, scientific, or other non-spiritual matters aren’t.
What is conceptual inspiration?
God inspired authors with general concepts, but left words and details to the author.
What is verbal inspiration?
God inspired authors with each word, superintending even details.
What is divine dictation?
Authors just took dictation from God as he spoke.
What are the three views of inerrancy?
- Absolute Inerrancy
- Full Inerrancy
- Limited Inerrancy
What is absolute inerrancy?
All matters, spiritual, historical, and scientific, are true!
What is full inerrancy?
The Bible is completely true, but the Bible’s primary aim is not to make scientific or historical assertions, but theological and spiritual facts only.
What is limited inerrancy?
The Bible is only true and theological or spiritual matters, not scientific or historical matters.
What is the biblical view of inerrancy?
This goes back to verbal inspiration, human authors are used to speak as God moved on them or carry them along. We can see this process in 2 Peter 1:21. God oversaw each word, Matthew 5:18.
Inspiration means that God used human riders and the personalities background and styles to communicate his word through even the very words and grammar of those authors. Prepositional revelation, divine penmanship.
What are the three translation theories?
- Literal
- Dynamic equivalence translations
- Paraphrase
What are the three concepts of hermeneutics?
- Historical grammatical
- Historical critical
- Post modern hermeneutics
What is the historical grammatical approach to hermeneutics?
The Bible is the word of God. Historical means the text witness to history.
What is the Historical critical view of hermeneutics?
Bible contains the word of God. Hysterical and this means the text is a product of the historical process. They assume the word of God was there, but it was mixed up with other words that were part of this historic process.
What is the post modern view of hermeneutics.
The Bible is a human documents. There is no word of God in it, and it is simply the reflection of religious experiences from individuals and communities overtime..
What is the literal translation theory?
Each word is translated directly in consistently. Importance placed on the readability in English, and more place on the original word and grammar. The translations are more consistent with the original text.
What is the dynamic equivalence translation theory?
And attempt to translate not each word but each thought. Or big picture. Much easier to read and attempt to capture the significant point of each passage. It’s not consistent, requires a translator to make some interpretive decisions.
Samples are the NIV.
What is the paraphrase Translation theory?
They focus on making the text easier to read and try to capture the impact of each passage. The author will take Brad liberties often amplify and expanding from the original text. It’s in significantly interpretive in some if it is out right commentary instead of translation. Examples of this are the message Bible and the JB Phillips translation.
2 Tim 3:16
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”
