What are we to make of this book called “the Bible”? Van Til taught that Scripture must “identify itself.” There are opinions and standards of assessment outside the Bible that might be used to indicate how to categorize this book, what qualities (virtues or defects, literary or historical or philosophical) it could or does have, and how to interpret its function and place in human experience. But the standard that the Christian applies is the testimony of the Bible about itself; its character and purpose are believed on its own attestation (or witness)—being “self-attesting.” Therefore, Scripture has final authority in the reasoning of the believer.
