In The City of God,
Augustine argues Christians are justified in believing the Bible is God’s word because
of the agreement of the human authors
of Scripture. He contrasts this consensus with the disagreements between the philosophers. Whereas there is concord among
those God chose to speak on his behalf, there is discord among those who employed
reason alone to determine the truth about reality. Augustine also says there
are just enough biblical authors to make it reasonable to think their agreement
is due to God’s speaking through them without there being so many as to make
their contribution superfluous.
