First sentence: "My own interest in Rogers and McKim's volume was piqued by the authors' stout claim that they were 'setting the record straight.'  For seven or eight years I had been studying the theories about the Bible's authority entertained by Richard Simon, Jean Le Clerc, Baruch Spinoza, and other seventeenth- and eighteenth-century biblical critics.  I could understand Rogers and McKim's desire to moderate several assertions by Evangelicals who had not been sufficiently judicious in their own claims about "the central tradition of the church."  Nonetheless, I found the authors' presentation regarding the issues of biblical infallibility in the seventeenth- and eighteenth-centuries to be unreliable.  I had also studied the beliefs of nineteenth-century American Evangelicals about biblical authority.  Rogers and McKim's commentary on these viewpoints appeared to be deficient as well."
