The PhD Dissertation Lecture of Dr. A. Jacob W. Reinhardt.Dissertation Title: The Canonicity of the Prophetic Books of Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings According to Extrinsic and Intrinsic Evidence.This work presents a defense of the thesis that these historical books were given by #inspiration of God, and, therefore, that they are #canonical. Rooted in an intrinsic canonicity model, this work uses the foundations of theism, soft foundationalism, and a cumulative case method to defend the these using three independent but mutually reinforcing lines of evidence. These lines of evidence are extrinsic historical evidence, extrinsic canonical evidence, and intrinsic evidence.#solideoglória #canonicity #softfoundationalism #cumulativecase #christianityexplained
