The Bible Still Sufficient

1909

The Biblical World contains a very learned article, said to be the product of certain professors in the divinity school of the University of Chicago, in which the stand is taken that the Bible is not a complete moral guide for the present age. These professors ore not taking an attitude that will bring them much else than ridicule. If the Bible was ever a proper and sufficient moral guide, it still is proper and sufficient. Human nature has not changed a great deal since the world began. Real right and real wrong have not exchanged places in the slightest degree. Fundamentals have not changed. The Bible always was a book of fundamental principles; it is so today, and so it will always be. These fundamentals are as complete a guide to the settlement of any question of modern origin as they were to the settlement of any question of ancient origin. The Chicago university professors should desist lest public opinion consign them to the donkey class.
