W. Graham Scroggie (1877-1958) served faithfully as pastor to many congregations over his lifetime and blessed many more beyond the walls of his churches through itinerant speaking ministry and publishing an impressive body of popular-level commentaries and theological works.
Scroggie, born in Great Malvern, England, to Scottish parents, was one of nine children. As such, his family’s finances led him to work harder than some to achieve his education. At age 19, after working for a few years, he enrolled in Spurgeon’s College in London to train for the Baptist ministry.
Upon his graduation, he was fired from his first two pastorates for his opposition to modernism and worldliness. During this time of unemployment, he set about studying the Bible and writing, laying the foundation for his later books.
Eventually, Scroggie was blessed with churches wanting to hear faithful, biblical preaching. From 1902-33 served pastorates
at Leytonstone in London; Trinity Road in Halifax, England, Bethesda Free Chapel in Sunderland; and Charlotte Chapel in Edinburgh. His later itinerant ministry would have made him a good candidate for frequent flier miles in today’s world, taking him all over Britain and also to South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, the U.S., and Canada.Witnesses described his preaching as uniquely powerful. An American listener wrote upon hearing him: “He is dignified, calm, and forceful in his delivery, combining all the powers of the orator with an intense earnestness and a firm conviction that he had come to deliver God’s message to that congregation…. His heart seemed to be fired with a passion for the lost.” A visitor to his church from Scotland once said that he brought to each sermon an “extraordinary blend of the Bible expositor, the cold logician, the man who knows the world he lives in, and the irresistible evangelist.”
From 1938-44 he was minister at famed Spurgeon’s Tabernacle, London. During these turbulent years of World War II, Scroggie’s home suffered damage from German bombs on three occasions, and the historic church building was destroyed during an air raid. Ill health forced his retirement, but he devoted the last 14 years of his life to completing his literary work.
His many books include: Is the Bible the Word of God, Method in Prayer, The Unfolding Drama of Redemption, A Guide to the Gospels (Warren Wiersbe calls this work “indispensable”), and A Guide to the Psalms.
Some of these titles may be found in libraries and secondhand sources: Bible Story and Study; Primeval and Patriarchal; Christ in the Creed, Facts of the Faith; The Fascination of the Old Testament or How to Read It; The Great Unveiling: The Book of Revelation; The Book of the Acts; Know Your Bible (2 volumes); The Lord’s Return; Prophecy and History; Ruling Lines of Progressive Revelation; and A Note to a Friend: Paul to Philemon.
Scroggie passed into heaven on December 28, 1958, resting from a life of faithful labor for the glory of God. “With long life will I satisfy him…” (Ps. 91:16).

IS THE BIBLE THE WORD OF GOD?
Dr. Eugene Stock has said, “When I was a boy, I read a story which showed me the different ways in which we can be sure that this great library of Sacred Books, which we call the Bible, is really the Word of God, his Revelation to mankind. The writer of the story had been explaining three different kinds of evidence – the Historical, the Internal, and the Experimental. Then he told how he once sent a boy to the chemist's to get some phosphorus. The boy brought back a little packet; was it phosphorus? The boy reported that he went to the shop and asked for phosphorus; that the chemist went to his shelves, took some kind of stuff from a jar, put it in the little packet, and gave it to him, and that he had brought it straight back. That was the historical evidence that the packet had phosphorus in it. Then the gentleman opened the packet. The substance inside looked like phosphorus and smelled like phosphorus. That was the internal evidence. Then he put a light to it – ‘See how it burns!’ That was the experimental evidence.”
Along some such line as that we propose to set forth the evidence – so far as that can be done within strict limits – that the Bible is the Word of God. In reply to the question before us, we give a threefold answer, namely, It Seems to Be; It Claims to Be; and It Proves to Be.
The conclusiveness of the evidence is not in any one of these answers taken by itself, but in the three together, which constitute irrefragable proof that the Bible is of divine origin, and therefore of sovereign authority; that is, that it is the Word of God.
