FROM TRADITIONARY EVIDENCE-It claims to be, and establishes the claim beyond all reasonable dispute. The Jews preserved it as such; the Church has held it as such; and its own teachings, and especially its predictions, so clearly fulfilled, prove it to be the word of God.

FROM PRESUMPTIVE EVIDENCE-It being admitted that there is a Creator, then creation implies government -and government implies law-man created a moral agent, it is presumed his Creator would give him a revelation, or some law or rule of action. FROM POSITIVE EVIDENCE-External-The antiquity of the Scriptures, as proven by the persons, who were the immediate instruments of these revelations, being contemporaneous with the events of which they wrote, also the concurring dates of the books containing the doctrines. The testimony of ancient authors, (Strabo, Justin, Pliny, Tacitus, Josephus, &c.). The uncorrupted preservation of the books of Scripture, as proven by the Septuagint and Josephus the Jewish historian. The credibility of the testimony of the sacred writers; they were in circumstances to know the truth and had no interest in making a good story; their interest lay in another direction.

From miracles, as those of Moses in the passage of the Red Sea, &c., and those of Christ, the greatest of which was Ilis resurrection. From prophecies and their fulfillment, such as the prediction to Adam of the serpent and the seed of the woman; the apostacies, punishments and restoration of the Jewish nation, and upwards of 100 distinct predictions concerning the birth, life, sufferings, death and resurrection of Christ. The unity that pervades the different books of the Bible, though written by different men of different ages and in different languages.

Internal-The character and attributes of God. The divine government. The moral and beneficial tendency of the Scriptures. The style and manner of the sacred writers. The influence of the Holy Spirit. The gospel plan of salvation. The faithful promises of God as exemplified in the life and character of believers.

FROM COLLATERAL EVIDENCE-The marvellous diffusion of Christianity, especially during the first three centuries of the Christian era, when it became the established religion of the Roman Empire. The actual effect produced upon mankind.

FROM CORROBORATIVE EVIDENCE-Modern discoveries among the ruins of ancient Nineveh and other cities of Bible antiquity.
