John Owen on Inspiration and Uncorrupted Preservation

 


From X Post:

John Owen (1616-1683) on why the affirmation of the inspiration of Scripture must also be accompanied by the affirmation of its uncorrupted preservation:

"But what, I pray, will it advantage us that God did so once deliver his word, if we are not assured also that that word so delivered hath been, by his special care and providence, preserved entire and uncorrupt unto us, or that it doth not evidence and manifest itself to be his word, being so preserved?" -Collected Works, 16:350.
