The Person and The Book
“Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me” (John 5:39).
A. J. Pollock states the following in his book, Why I Believe The Bible:
The whole of the Scriptures revolves around the Person of the Son of God. The Pentateuch (first 5 Books, written by Moses) gives us the figures of Christ, the Psalms, the feelings of Christ, the Prophets, the foretellings of Christ, the Gospels, the facts of Christ, the Epistles, the fruits of Christ, and Revelation, the final judgment of Christ.
Indeed, when we come to see that the Book testifies of this wonderful Person, and the Person testifies of the Book, and that these testimonies stand or fall together, it must be concluded that we either must receive both the Book and the Person, or refuse both the Book and the Person. There is not any middle ground. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1). It is shown in this verse that both the Book and the Person are interwoven, as they are one.
