We know the word of God is revealed in the Bible completely and sufficiently. But not everything in the Bibles we carry around and have on our shelves is the inspired text.
And the consequences of that simple truth can be far-reaching.
Like the chapter breaks and verse numbers, which sometimes lead us to draw conclusions that were never intended. Or punctuation - the translators have done a wonderful job, but sometimes their decisions take us in one direction when the writer may have meant something else.
Neil Rees looks at these and many other later additions and embellishments to the sacred text, not least the process of translation itself, and detects a key shortfall in our understanding of God's word today: Are we missing the mission heart of God?
