Music Beyond the Genesis Record-part 3

Music Beyond the Genesis Record-part 3

            Probably the most egregious error of Whitwell’s writing on this subject is his blanket statement that “The Book of Daniel was written four hundred years after the events it describes”.  That makes the book Pseudepigraphy. I am aware that there has recently been much discussion about dating the book of Daniel, but there is no solid scholarship that proves that Daniel did not write the book of Daniel. The large picture here is a lack of trust of the Inspired Holy Writ. 

            When a writer begins to whittle away at the accuracy of the Bible what is the result of this disregard for Scripture end?  I suppose the first step is to believe that the Bible contains truth and error and the second step down this slippery slope is to believe that is not inspired and does not deserve a musician’s respect for its accuracy. This type of redaction criticism is the liberal’s way of building a case for denying that the Bible has been preserved as an accurate written record.

1Cointhians 13:12 states, “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”
