The ingenious design of the Bible provides a very strong argument, too.
The Bible is at once, SIXTY-SIX books, and yet truly, ONE BOOK.
The
great scholar, CI Scofield said:
“From Genesis the Bible bears witness
to one God.
Wherever He speaks or acts he is consistent with himself,
and with the total revelation concerning Him.
The Bible forms one continuous
story --the story of humanity in relation to God.
The Bible hazards the most
unlikely predictions concerning the future, and, when the centuries have brought round the appointed time, records their fulfillment.
The Bible is a progressive unfolding of truth.
Nothing is told all at once, and once for all. The law is, “First the blade, then the ear, after
that the full grain.”
Without the possibility of collusion, often
with centuries between, one writer of Scripture takes up an earlier revelation, adds to it, lays down the pen, and in due
time another man moved by the Holy Spirit, and another, and another, add new details till the whole is complete.
From beginning to end the Bible testifies to one redemption. The Bible has one great theme--the Person
and work of Christ.
Finally, these writers, some forty in number, writing
through twenty centuries, have produced a perfect harmony of doctrine in progressive unfolding.
This is, to every candid mind, the unanswerable proof of the divine inspiration of the Bible.”
