摘要：Revelation and Inspiration: The Classical Model This text represents a further developing of topic introduced in the last article on ground and methodology of new approach to the doctrine of revelation and inspiration. Author first explains a role of models and presuppositional structures in theology, then continues with analysis of the revelation-inspiration concepts in so called 'classical model', developed from Origen, Augustine, Aquinas to the present day Protestant conservative scholars such as Carl Henry. Presuppositional structure of classical model rests on philosophical schools of Platonism and Aristotelianism, which have been adapted to Christianity in medieval philosophy. Its main point is realism in metaphysics and intellectualism in epistemology. This entails the role of biblical writer as a simply passive tool of Holy Spirit. The truths revealed in Bible are to be understood only in their eternal sense, regardless of many historical facts. The implication of such view is that only some portions of the Scripture are to be considered as a source for theology.
