Abstract

Our fourth reason for accepting the inspiration of the New Testament on a level with the Old Testament is found in the internal evidence offered by references to earlier writings in the later books of the first century, that is, those contained in the convolute of the New Testament as we now have it, as well as those which indicate that letters or treatises were to be kept, thus acquiring canonical standing in the Church. To begin with the latter point first, we have such passages as Luke 1, 1-4, in which the writer expressly makes the claim that his gospel would give men the certainty of the things in which they had been instructed, that is, in the way of salvation.
