 | | More than a quarter of a century ago, the late B.C. Goodpasture, respected editor of the Gospel Advocate for some thirty-eight years, published an article in that journal titled, “Homer Sometimes Nods.” The thrust of this fascinating essay was to show that human authors, regardless of their genius and skill, are fallible. |
 | | Whoever composed the narrative, however, “nodded” more than once (one is tempted to say he lapsed into a coma). |
 | | By way of glaring contrast, the holy writers of the biblical records never “nodded.” Their works are characterized by a razor-sharp accuracy that defies explanation save on the ground they were controlled by the Spirit of God. |
