This is to be deplored and should be resisted. But the end results are attributed to one cause. Many today are committing the same error. They are putting their faith in the Bible instead of in the Christ, which the Bible seeks to reveal. Scholars line up with microscopes to criticize texts, words and interpretations of various parts or books of the Bible.
Computers grind out new concordances to facilitate the use of new versions.
But this is all based on one great error, namely looking AT the Bible. Its symmetry, its blazing light of revelation, its recital of the acts of Christ and people inspired as His followers leap at us with life giving power. We are grateful for the Bible, but we do not worship it. We worship HIM whom it portrays.
