- "My first and foremost debt is to the dean and faculty of the General Theological Seminary, who kindly invited me to deliver the Paddock Lectures in October of 2003. ... This small book is an elaboration of those Paddock lectures. .... The book attempts to underline the complexities and difficulties that attach to understanding scripture and its authority not merely for Anglicans but for all Christians. But it is my hope that it will suggest positive ways forward. The ancient rabbis said that just as the grit in the oyster is what makes the pearls, so the difficulties in scripture are what produce the pearls of exegesis. Attending to them is a way of digging ever more deeply into the mysteries of God's word". -- Acknowledgements.
