The following treatise is, "an attempt to vindicate the ancient and catholic (universal--RB) faith of the Church of Christ on the subject... The doctrine of the infallibility of the one record which we have of a supernatural revelation from Heaven, is so vitally connected with the grounds of a Christian's faith, and affects, in a manner so fundamental, the certainty of all that we believe and hope in reference to God, that the importance of it can hardly be over-estimated... the author has endeavoured to... establish the scriptural fact of the plenary inspiration of the record in which God has embodied His supernatural revelation" (Preface).
