All the good Saviour gave to the world was communicated through this Book. But for this Book we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man's welfare, here and hereafter, are to be found portrayed in it . . . One example, even of the smallest of these, more than offsets the efforts of an hundred unbelievers in active opposition. If this unified knowledge is not provided by the theologians, it will be provided by someone else.
Human action requires that unified knowledge.
Man's being requires a systematics, and he will either live or die in terms of it. His faith will lead him to action or inaction, to suicide or life. Thus, systematics cannot be avoided. Every non-Biblical system has collapse built into it. It rests on false premises, leads to false conclusions, and cannot give a valid and rational interpretation of the nature and purpose of life and the world.
