QUOTE OF THE WEEK

How is the modern preacher to make sure that he is retailing week by week the fully verified results of Biblical exegesis?

Only in one way:

he must get back to the ordinary Hebrew sources and verify the results for himself. If the cause of truth is to be safeguarded from the extravagance of ἀγνωσία, the preacher of the future must sit down and grapple with the minutiæ of the text.
