Bavinck on the Attributes of Scripture

Kedric Webster

"In Christ God's revelation has been completed. In the same way the message of salvation is completely contained in Scripture. It constitutes a single whole; it itself conveys the impression of an organism that has reached its full growth. It ends where it begins. It is a circle that returns into itself.

Williams Jennings Bryan was one of the key representatives for the prosecution. I am not going to focus exclusively on that event (or its complex cultural implications), though it does come into play in my research about J. Gresham Machen.
