Chapter XVI: Scripture and Missions 179-198

The "historical method" finds in Psalm 110 only
human authorship 181

And contradicts Christ himself by denying the
reference in the psalm to him 182

A document can have more than one author, shown
in art as well as literature 183

Predictions of Christ in the Old Testament
convinced unbelieving Jews 184

The "historical method" finds no prediction of
Christ in Isaiah, and so contradicts John 184

Effect of this method upon the interpretation
of the New Testament 185

It gives us no assurance of Christ's deity, and
ignores Old Testament proofs that he is Prophet,
Priest, and King 185

Value of the "historical method" when not exclusively
inductive 186

Effect of this method, as often employed, upon
systematic theology 187

If Scripture has no unity, no systematic theology
is possible 187

Unitarian acknowledgment that its schools have no
theology at all 189

Effect of this method upon our theological
seminaries to send out disseminators of doubts 189

Effect of this method upon the churches of our
denomination to destroy all reason for their
existence 191

Effect of this method upon missions to supersede
evangelism by education and to lose all dynamic
both abroad and at home 193

This method was "made in Germany," and must be
opposed as we oppose arbitrary force in government 195

The remedy is a spiritual coming of Christ in the
hearts of his people 197
