The Bible One.

THERE are in the New Testament 205 direct quotations from, and 348 references and allusions to, writings, events, and individuals in the Old Testament, without including the prophecies predicted in the Old Testament that are fulfilled in the New, unless a special allusion is given to them. Of these, 237 are from the Pentateuch, 78 from the historical books, 103 from Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Songs of Solomon, and 135 from the prophetical books. These quotations by Christ and his inspired apostles from 38 of the 39 books of the Old Testament show conclusively that the whole of the Old Testament writings are authentic and inspired, however much infidels and semi-infidels may assail certain portions, and wish to exclude them from the sacred canon. The two must stand or fall together.
