“Thus new-model theologians have rather drastically remodeled the doctrine of Christ’s atonement, and in the process they have fashioned a system that is in no sense truly evangelical—but is rather a repudiation of core evangelical distinctives.” (Page 6)
“In isolated instances elsewhere, however, when a text has a double meaning, the context will always make that clear.” (Page 38)
“Instead of saying the psalm has two referents, which in essence assigns two meanings to it, to say that the psalm’s lone referent is Asaph, thereby limiting the psalm to one meaning, is preferable. Either Psalm 78:2 refers to Asaph or it refers to Jesus. It cannot refer to both. It is proper to say that Psalm 78:2 refers to Asaph, and Matthew 13:35 refers to Jesus. By itself, Psalm 78:2 cannot carry the weight of the latter referent.” (Page 46)
“According to open theism, the cross is merely a demonstrative proof of Christ’s ‘willingness to suffer’—and in this watered-down view of the atonement, He suffers alongside the sinner, rather than in the sinner’s stead.” (Page 6)
“That a single passage has one meaning and one meaning only has been a long-established principle of biblical interpretation.” (Page 33)
