“The canonical Holy Scriptures in the original text are the infallible truth and are free from every error; in other words, in the canonical Sacred Scriptures there is found no lie, no falsity, no error, not even the least, whether in subject matter or expressions, but in all things and all the details that are handed down in them, they are most certainly true, whether they pertain to doctrines or morals, to history or chronology, to topography or nomenclature. No ignorance, no thoughtlessness, no forgetfulness, no lapse of memory can dare be ascribed to the amanuenses of the Holy Ghost in their penning of the Sacred Writings.”
Johann Andreas Quenstedt (1617-1688), from Theologia didactico-polemica, sive Systema theologicum, in duas sectiones, didacticam et polemicam (Didactic-polemical theology, or the theological system, into two sections, didactic and polemical).

nice quote
I think it was through Brother Van Kleeck, Sr. that I came to know about the work of Quenstedt.
