THE AUTHORITY OF THE SCRIPTURES
Even as the sovereignty of God encompasses the whole of reality and cannot be limited to those things deemed ‘spiritual’, so the authority of the Word of God extends to all things.

INSPIRATION
In the process of inspiration the mind and consciousness of the writers of Scripture were so elevated that the thoughts arising there came solely from the Spirit of God, unhindered by the intervention of anything originating from within the individual concerned. Moved, or borne along by God’s Spirit, the thoughts of God become the thoughts of these men. Nevertheless, the functioning of the human personality was not set aside, but its faculties operated coincidentally and utterly in tune with the Spirit of God.

LANGUAGE AS A BATTLEFIELD
Any translation methodology, such as that used for the New International Version and most modern versions, that is based on a godless view of language cannot give us access to the unchangeable Word of God, ‘for ever settled in heaven’.

THE RISE OF RATIONALIST CRITICISM WITHIN EVANGELICAL THEOLOGY

“The translators of the Authorised Version translated not only words, but they took with them the linguistic structure of the text. Wherever possible they retained the punctuation, clauses, and subordinate clauses, figures of speech, and more besides. They have given us a virtual transcription of the Hebrew and Greek texts in a style of English that has never been surpassed. Modern versions violate the integrity of the text,...and frequently reconstruct the text in such a way that the meaning is changed, obscured, or even lost altogether. Modern versions are consequently rarely a genuine translation but an equivalent, a rewriting of the Bible. We do not need an ‘equivalent’, either formal or dynamic, but a faithful and sympathetic rendering of the Scriptures in a language we can readily understand.” (p. 346)
