What Holy Scripture Says About Itself
Canonization of Scripture and Faithfulness of Transmission
An argument for rejecting the authority of the Bible that is held by thoughtful people stems from American slavery. The point has been made that the Bible was wrong about slavery, and therefore it is also wrong about other moral issues such as marriage, abortion, divorce, women in the clergy, homosexual sex, etc. For this reason, it is necessary to examine slavery in the context of the Bible and the church.
