“Sure, a Bible may sell well if the celebrity whose name is on the cover has a large following. But I much prefer a study Bible with contributions from a team of scholars with diverse expertise.” - Word by Word

“In delivering the words he wanted us to have, God chose the supernatural means of divine inspiration and inscripturation. In preserving the words he wanted us to have, God chose the providential means of human transmission and translation.” - P&D

“Given that fact, and given the fact that Sandy’s book failed to give even one new insight into Scripture that is traceable to the recovering of orality, I felt safe to conclude that I was reading a good exponent of poor ideas.” - Mark Ward

“…we don’t necessarily need an explicit doctrine of preservation to believe and expect it; there are other theological arguments that support it.” - P&D

“…far from placing anyone beyond God’s mercy, these texts help us see that every human is invited into Jesus’s kingdom on the same basis.” - TGC
