dc.description.abstractLudwig Wiesinger defends the inspiration, inerrancy, and authority of Holy Scripture against modern theological challenges. Responding to claims that the Bible merely contains God’s Word, Wiesinger affirms that Scripture is fully and verbally inspired by the Holy Spirit, making it the true and complete Word of God. He outlines three key points: the Bible’s purpose—to lead sinners to Christ through Law and Gospel; its nature—as both a human book and divine revelation; and its proper use—approaching it with humility, prayer, and faith. Wiesinger critiques rationalistic approaches that elevate human reason above Scripture and warns against theological trends that undermine biblical authority, leading to doctrinal collapse and even atheism. He emphasizes that faith rests on God’s Word, not scientific theories, and calls believers to steadfast confidence in Scripture as the foundation for salvation and Christian life. —Summary prepared by Microsoft Copilot (GPT-4)
