Bible Note: "Once the Scriptures were written, and the prophetic and apostolic witness to Christ was complete, no need remained for private revelation of new truths, and [John] Owen did not believe that any were given. He opposed the 'enthusiasm' of those who, like the Quakers, put their trust in supposed revelations taken apart from, and going beyond, the Word. ...Owen calls the Quakers... 'fanatics', for their attitude. He is quick to deploy against them the old dilemma that if their 'private revelations' agree with Scripture, they are needless, and if they disagree, they are false." --J. I. Packer |
