“The evidential approach, however, proves to be a double-edged sword. While it cuts the ancient errors of cosmology, the blade swings back and eviscerates the Genesis account, as that chronology is regrettably submitted to the newer evidences of the latest fads of cosmology, which themselves may be based on high proportions of theory and little observation. It is hoped that this author will do more work in this area but not submit Scripture to current findings of science.” (Volume 37, Number 4, Page 601)
“This is my major criticism of Ross’ work. The adopted evidentialistic posture guarantees that outmoded theories be discarded upon discovery of evidential novelty. Yet along with that is the canonization of the latest in evidential findings, which in our case are not the least bit Christian. Ross is also to be faulted for rejecting a ‘single revelational’ approach, at times seeming to elevate natural revelation to parity with special revelation.” (Volume 37, Number 4, Page 601)
“In order to make preservation support the MT it must infer accessibility: ‘God has preserved the text of the New Testament in a very pure form and it has been readily available to His followers in every age throughout 1900 years.” (Volume 37, Number 2, Page 201)
“The quaint analogy that a used Bible gets worn out might work in individual cases. But to argue this on a grand scale stretches the credibility of the theory far beyond the breaking point. Further, how is it possible that a worked-over MS with many corrections such as Sinaiticus substantiates the ‘vanishing’ theory? This was obviously a used MS, yet Pickering argues that ‘to demand that a MS survive for 1, 500 years is in effect to require … that it have remained unused.’” (Volume 37, Number 2, Page 206)
