Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 68: July 19, 1906 On the fact of the inspiration of the prophets and apostles of the Lord, the early fathers were unanimous, and they quoted copiously from their writings in support of their own teachings. But on the question of how God inspired them, they were not clear, and perhaps that is one reason why some of those excellent men fell into the absurd error of regarding the verses of the pagan sibyls as also divinely inspired. Though these sibyls were no better than our gipsy fortune tellers, Justin, Clement of Alexandria, Athenagoras, Theophilus of Antioch, Origin, Tertullian, and even Augustine, quote them so earnestly that the early Christians were derisively called sibyllists. Had they had a clearer appreciation of the nature of divine inspiration, they would perhaps not have fallen in this peculiar error.
