This sermon, delivered at St. Paul's Cathedral, addresses the responsibility of the Christian Church in preserving and revising the Scriptures to ensure their fidelity and accessibility to the faithful. The text reflects on the historical transmission of the Bible and the challenges of translation and interpretation in a modern context. In this work, Alford emphasizes the critical duty of the Church as the custodian of the Holy Scriptures, highlighting both the necessity for revision based on new scholarly insights and the importance of maintaining the original essence of the text. He discusses the variations found in different manuscripts and the impact of these variations on doctrine, urging a careful consideration of the texts used in worship. The sermon calls for a balanced approach in the process of biblical revision, one that respects the traditional wording while ensuring clarity and accuracy in understanding divine truth. Ultimately, Alford advocates for a continuous effort to bring forth both the historical and contemporary meanings of Scripture, aiming for inclusivity in its interpretation.
