Retrieval work has forced us modern Christians to wrestle with theology proper, political theology, nature/grace, etc. One area that hasn’t become as “mainstream” in the retrieval world, and it’s always perplexed me as to why, has been regarding the doctrine of Scripture. I’m thinking of things like providential preservation, textual criticism, TR vs MT vs CT, etc. There are certainly folks like @Lanier_Greg and @William_A_Ross and @Riddle1689 and others who are engaged in this work and represent different approaches. And there are circles where these issues are debated more. But as I’ve seen all this retrieval work take off in recent years, the fact that retrieving and wrestling with our forefathers views on Scripture hasn’t gotten as much attention as it probably should get, it has always perplexed me. -What did the divines mean in WCF 1.8 that the Scriptures have been “kept pure in all ages?” -How do Turretin and Owen and Whitaker’s views line up with modern scholarship? -Am I fine with using the ESV? -Am I fine preaching the longer ending of Mark or John 8? -Do I need to use the NKJV or KJV? etc. There’s a lot of thought and nuance that go into these matters, but I’d love to see the retrieval efforts focus on this area too and bring these discussions to the “mainstream” more.
