Course advertising - Bibliology - 'Which Bible Should You Use????'
'When I was in seminary, one professor said that a certain Greek verse was … . In another class, a different professor said the same Greek verse should be … . The problem was they did not agree. Which professor's Greek verse was right. I went to the dean of students. He said, 'Bruce, when you have your Doctor of Theology degree you too can decide what is the Word of God.
I now have my Doctor of Theology degree.
So, I do not want to write the Word of God for you! You want only God's inspired Scriptures.
God has promised to preserve His Word. His Word is preserved, but where?'
'Normally, the first required course for the degree is on Bibliology which is based on my book titled 'Which Bible Should You Use????.' Dr. Klein
