“Our English Old Testament has a different order and comes from the Greek Version of the Old Testament. It consists of four parts: Pentateuch, History, Poetry, and Prophecy.” (Page 11)
“the Bible is not an authorized collection of books, but a collection of authorized books” (Page 25)
“the Old Testament part of it cannot be overlooked in work for God” (Page 53)
“Taking these seven considerations together, can there be any real doubt or serious question about the historical accuracy and therefore trustworthiness of the New Testament? And if we proceed to enquire as to the cause of this reliability, there is only one explanation: the New Testament is a supernatural book.” (Pages 64–65)
