| Summary | "Inspiration and Interpretation" by John William Burgon is a theological critique written in the mid-19th century. The work comprises a collection of sermons delivered before the University of Oxford, structured as a response to the controversial volume "Essays and Reviews." The book addresses the attacks on the integrity of the Bible and argues for the need to uphold the authority and inspiration of Scripture against modern skepticism and interpretations that undermine its teachings. The opening of this work sets the stage with Burgon’s preface, where he articulates his motivations for writing and the significance of the issues at hand. He challenges the modern views that dismiss the authority of the Bible and respond to a growing apathy towards orthodox Christian teachings. Specifically, he discusses the alarming influence of "Essays and Reviews," published by clergymen who propagate doubts about scriptural truths. Burgon emphasizes the necessity of robust theological education and the importance of reaffirming belief in the divine inspiration of the Bible as a cornerstone of faith, laying a foundation for the arguments he will develop in the subsequent sermons.
