It is a great pleasure to be invited to contribute once more to the discussion on biblical authority in this newspaper. Evangelicalism has always taken its stand on the total reliability and trustworthiness of 'the word of God incarnate and the word of God written', seeing the closest of connections between Jesus Christ and Scripture. It is excellent that evangelicals continue to affirm these seminal truths in an age in which the uniqueness of the Christian gospel is being challenged on many fronts.
