[Glossary] Assurance of the Divine Authority of the Bible

1. (Clark 1965, 16): "[Chapter I] Section v even uses the word infallible. It says that our full assurance of the infallible truth and divine authority of these books is the work of the Holy Spirit. Can there be error in infallible truth? To the same end section ix teaches that the infallible rule of interpretation of Scripture is the Scripture itself."

It is the Holy Spirit that gives full assurance of the divine authority of the Bible.
