“Every Scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness: that the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work.”
—II. Tim. iii: 16. (Revised Version.)The Sacred Scriptures of the Old Testament and of the New Testament have had, and still justly have, a relation to the highest moral consciousness and to the profoundest religious experiences of the best men, and any endeavor to dethrone their influence would be met by the resistance of everything that is best in the best men.
The divine revelation, interpreted by Evolution, will in my judgment free the Sacred Scriptures from fictitious pretensions made by men, from clouds of misconceptions, and give to us the book as a clear shining light, instead of an orb veiled by false claims and worn-out philosophies. It may even be said that the Bible has been held in captivity by an untrue and unwarranted theory of inspiration which runs it against a thousand obstacles, and well-nigh leads the commentators into intellectual dishonesty. Assured, as they are, that the Bible is the word of God, upon their old theory of inspiration that word of God must be clung to, though it seemed to run against the clearest revelations of God as made plain by the researches of science.
