<p> a term frequently used in reference to the literary history of the Holy Scriptures. </p> <p> (1.) In a broad and loose sense, by the authenticity of the canonical books is meant that they were really written by the authors whose names they bear; that those which are anonymous were written at the time in which they profess that they were written; and that their contents are credible. </p> <p> (2.) In careful and scientific language, authenticity implies authority; an authentic account is truthful, and therefore credible. A genuine book, on the other hand, is one written by the person whose name it bears, whether it be truthful or not. Thus, for instance, Alison's History of [[Europe]] is genuine, because it was written by Alison; but it is not authentic, because it looks at facts with partisan eves. — Horne, Introduction, 2, 1. </p> | <p> (1): </p> <p> (n.) Genuineness; the quality of being genuine or not corrupted from the original. </p> <p> (2): </p> <p> (n.) The quality of being authentic or of established authority for truth and correctness. </p> | ||
