Correcting the Scrivener: Mistake, Reformation, and the Testator’s Actual Intention
A copyist’s mistake is corrected by returning to the author’s actual words, not by improving his general purpose. Modern will-reformation cases sharpen the line between ministerial correction and editorial creation.

Why Confessional Bibliology Confesses Infallibility, Not Inerrancy
Confessional Bibliology will use infallibility for its positive confession of Holy Scripture. This is not permission for error. It is a deliberate commitment to the present, preserved, authentic Hebrew and Greek rule—and a refusal to let an autographic formula govern confessional language.

How Confessional Bibliology Reviews a Book
A book review should explain what a work set out to do, judge what it actually accomplished, and tell the reader how to use it. This is why each part of our review method exists.

No Brute Facts: Manuscripts Do Not Interpret Themselves
A manuscript’s date, wording, location, and genealogical relations are real facts. Their textual significance is not self-interpreting. Bahnsen’s doctrine of facts requires a theological account of the evidence.

What Does “Kept Pure in All Ages” Mean? A Precise Confessional Definition
“Kept pure in all ages” means that God preserved the full verbal Hebrew and Greek text he inspired, in the body of copies used by his church, so that no part of Scripture was lost and no future reconstruction is needed.

The Label Is Not an Argument
Calling Confessional Bibliology “KJV-only,” “TR-only,” or “Ruckmanite” does not answer its doctrine of preservation. When a loaded label is made to carry the argument, it becomes an act of intellectual cowardice and, among Christians, a sin against truth.
