The document discusses different views on inspiration of the Bible. It presents the view of Natural Inspiration which sees inspiration as a natural human ability, without supernatural elements. It also discusses the view of Mechanical Inspiration which sees authors of the Bible as machines without free will. The document favors the view of Plenary Inspiration held by most Christian denominations, that the entire Bible is inspired equally by God. It suggests that if the Bible is fully authoritative, even individual words and letters must have been inspired.
