Mary’s Song
It is not the proud or the mighty or the rich who have the last word.
Indeed, through his Messiah, God is about to over throw all these.
—Leon Morris, The Gospel According to Luke
The Bible as History
When we say that the Bible is the Word of God, we mean that the Spirit of God breathed out His own words through human writers. “Holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit” (2 Pet. 1:21), so that “all Scripture is God-breathed” (2 Tim. 3:16). The words of Scripture are in the most literal sense the words of God, infallible, inerrant, and authoritative.
This doesn’t mean, however, that the human writers had nothing to do with the process of composition. The Spirit of God chose, prepared, and equipped the human authors and then made use of their personalities, intelligence, and gifts in the writing process. They wrote, not as robotic software programs producing automatic writing, but as artists crafting profound and beautiful literature.
And so very little of Scripture comes to us as straight dictation from the mouth of God. Only rarely did God completely override the intentions and actual will of His spokesmen. (The wicked prophet Balaam is an example.)
