WILL your correspondent, “C. E. S.,” kindly state his authority, if any, for saying “Some inspired communications (written by the Spirit of God) have perished?” — “Thoughts on Canticles,” Bible Treasury, March, 1869, p. 225.
Have we any divine proof that the 1005 songs by Solomon, and his works on natural history, ever belonged to the canon of Scripture? Were they more than the sayings of the wise man? Yours, &c., NESCITUR.
To the Editor of the BIBLE TREASURY.
Apart from the questions of “Old Testament Canon,” and the perpetual miracle in order to preserve the scriptures, there will many grave questions arise if it be allowed that ONE divinely written communication has perished.
