以下是译文： Dr. W. Graham Scroggie 来自芝加哥的 MOODY BIBLE INSTITUTE（穆迪圣经学院），这是世界上最负盛名的基督教福音派机构之一。他在书中回答了“圣经是神的话语吗？”这一问题（这也是其著作的书名），标题为：它是人的，也是神圣的。他在第17页写道：

Dr. W. Graham Scroggie of the MOODY BIBLE INSTITUTE, Chicago, one of the most prestigious Christian Evangelical Mission in the world, answering the question — "Is the Bible the Word of God?" (also the title of his book), under the heading: IT IS HUMAN, YET DIVINE. He says on page 17:

“是的，《圣经》是人的作品，尽管有些人出于热心，但这种热心并不依据知识，因此否认这一点。[1] 这些书[2]经过了人的思想，用人的语言写成，由人的手书写，其文风也带有人的特征。”（着重号为后加）

"Yes, the Bible is human, though some, out of zeal which is not according to knowledge, 1 1 have denied this. Those books2 have passed through the minds of men, are written in the language of men, were penned by the hands of men, and bear in their style the characteristics of men." (Emphasis added).

另一位学识渊博的基督教学者、耶路撒冷圣公会主教肯尼斯·克拉格（Kenneth Cragg）在其著作《宣礼塔的召唤》（The Call of the Minaret）第277页中写道：

Another erudite Christian scholar, Kenneth Cragg, the Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem, says on page 277 of his book, "The Call of the Minaret":

"但新约并非如此。3 . . . 其中有浓缩与编辑；4 4 有选择、转述与见证。福音书经过了作者背后教会的思想过滤。它们所呈现的是经验与历史。" 5 5

"Not so the New Testament3 . . . There is condensation and editing; 4 4 there is choice, reproduction and witness. The Gospels have come through the mind of the Church behind the authors. They represent experience and history." 5 5

如果文字本身有意义，我们还需要再添加一句评论来证明我们的观点吗？不需要！但那些专业的宣传者，在已经泄露了底细之后，竟还厚颜无耻地试图让读者相信：他们已经毫无疑问地证明了《圣经》是"不可辩驳的6上帝之言"。他们的文字游戏——偷换概念、玩弄词句——实在令人惊叹！1. 出于无知。

If words have any meaning, do we need to add another word of comment to prove our case? No! But the professional propagandists, after letting the cat out of the bag, still have the face to try to make their readers believe that they have proved beyond the shadow of any doubt that the Bible is the "irrefragable 6 Word of God." Their semantic gymnastics — equivocating, and playing with words — is amazing! 1. Out of ignorance.

2. 《圣经》并非一本书，而是许多书的选集与汇编。

2. The Bible is not Just a Book. It is a selection and compilation of many books.

3. 与《古兰经》相对。

3. As opposed to the Qur’ân.

4. 插入（另一种说法）

4. Another word for Interpolating.

5. 着重号为我所加。

5. Emphasis are mine.

6. 无可争辩的

6. Indisputable.

这两位宗教学博士用最清楚不过的人类语言告诉我们，圣经是人的手笔，却又装作在证明相反的结论。阿拉伯有句古话说："若祭司如此，愿真主保佑会众。"正是这类胡言乱语，使那些狂热的福音布道者和好斗的圣经卫道士受到"启发"，去骚扰"异教徒"。 1 1 一位神学院学生，即尚未取得资格的年轻布道者，来自约翰内斯堡威特沃特斯兰德大学，他经常光顾约翰内斯堡纽敦清真寺，怀着"崇高"的念头，要向清真寺的会众"作见证"。2 我被介绍给他认识，得知他的来意后，便邀请他到我哥哥的住所共进午餐，那里离清真寺只有一箭之遥。饭桌上讨论圣经的真实性时，我察觉到他顽固的教条主义，便试探性地说："你们的盖泽尔教授（神学系主任）并不认为圣经是上帝的话语。"他毫不惊讶地回答："我知道。" 其实我本人并不了解这位教授对圣经的看法，只是从围绕他的一场争论中推测的。3 几年前，他就"基督神性"的问题与正统信徒持不同意见，引起了争议。我接着说："你们的讲师不相信圣经是上帝的话语。"这位年轻的布道者又回答："我知道。"但这一次他接着说："但我相信它就是上帝的话语！" 对这样的人，实在没有真正的药可医。连耶稣也为这种病症而哀叹：

Both these Doctors of Religion are telling us in the clearest language humanly possible that the Bible is the handiwork of man, all the while pretending that the are proving to the contrary. An old Arab saying goes: "IF SUCH ARE THE PRIESTS, GOD BLESS THE CONGREGATION." With this sort of drivel, the hot-gospeller and the Bible-thumper is "inspired" to harry the "heathen." 1 1 A theological student — a not-yet-qualified young evangelist — from the University of Witwatersrand, became a frequent visitor to the Newtown Mosque in Johannesburg, with the "noble" thought of "witnessing"2 to the members of its congregation. When I was introduced to him, (and having learnt his purpose), I invited him to lunch at my brother's residence — a stone's-throw from the Mosque. While discussing the authenticity of the Bible over the dinner table and sensing his stubborn dogmatism, I put out a feeler: "Your Professor Geyser, (The Head of the Department of Theology) does not believe the Bible to be the Word of God." Without the slightest surprise he answered, "I know." Now I personally had no knowledge of the Professor's conviction about the Bible. I had only assumed so from a controversy which raged around him about the "Divinity of Christ." 3 3 He had taken issue with the orthodox believers on this point some years ago. I continued further, saying, "Your lecturer does not believe the Bible as being God's Word." The young evangelist, responded again, "I know" but he continued this time-with the words, "but I believe that it is the Word of God!" There is no real remedy for such people. Even Jesus bewailed this sickness:

"……因为他们看却不见，听却不闻，也不明白。"（马太福音 13:13）

"... seeing they see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand." (Matthew 13:13)

《古兰经》——神的圣书，也谴责了这种顽固不化的心态：

Al-Qur'an, the Holy Book of God, also condemns this mulish mentality:

这些页面现在是写给那些真诚谦卑、确实渴望寻求神之光并希望由其引导的人。至于心中患有疾病的另一类人，书中所陈述的事实只会加重他们心中的病症。

These pages are now addressed to those sincerely humble souls, who are genuinely interested in seeking the Light of God, and who wish to be guided by it. As for the other, with a sickness in their souls, the facts presented herein can only increase the disease of their hearts.

2. 当基督徒谈到"见证"时，他的意思是传播、传教、使人皈依。

2. When the Christian talks of "witnessing" he means propagating, proselytizng, converting.

3. 本主题在《伊斯兰教中的基督》一书中有详尽论述。
