Bibliology
Bibliology
Bibliology is the study of everything concerning the Bible. God reveals Himself, His ultimate plan for us (salvation), and His will to us through His Word. Psalms tells us that the Word of God is to be lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. Psalms also tells us to hide His word in our heart. We speak to God through prayer, but He speaks to us through the Scriptures. The importance of this book cannot be stressed enough; we literally have a love letter, written by Almighty God, just for us. The Bible can help in any situation, it teaches, it guides, it has interesting stories, it has friendships, betrayals, and it has some comedy. There are several different doctrines concerning the Bible that one will see explained in this paper: Revelation, Inspiration, Illumination, and Interpretation. The first doctrine concerning the Bible is Revelation. The term "revelation" meant to unveil or uncover. There two ways that God has chosen to reveal Himself in the Bible, general revelation and special revelation. General revelation is the general truths that can be known about God through nature (Romans 1:20). Special revelation is more specific truths about God that can be known through the supernatural. Special revelations would include visions, dreams, the Bible, and Jesus Christ. The next doctrine of the Bible is Inspiration. Ted Marvin, writer of the article, "The Doctrine of Inspiration" says, "Inspiration is the theological word used to refer to the process whereby God spoke to the human authors of scripture so that what they wrote was simultaneously their own words as well as the Word of God himself; God 'breathed out' his words through the words of these writers." It is interesting to note that God allowed the different personalities and writing styles of the different men; this gave each portion of the Scripture its own personality. So, through writing that the Holy Spirit led, God has preserved a historical record of all of His different things
