When documents are translated from ancient languages into modern English, they have to use the words we use today. But those words are then often not used with the same meaning that we attach to them today. This book looks at some important examples of when, in order to understand the Bible, we must allow some of our words to take on different meanings.

After studying Maths in Manchester and Theology in Cambridge, I spent nearly twenty years in full-time Christian ministry, regularly preaching and teaching through the Bible. After that, I joined a Pentecostal church and spent another twenty years teaching Maths, Statistics and Computing in schools and Further Education colleges. Now that I've retired, I'm still doing some Maths teaching, and am using a lot of time writing books. My grandfather, John Taylor, left his work as an apprentice blacksmith, and became a colporteur, distributing tracts around villages in the west country. As his work developed, he became a minister and evangelist who was radically opposed to the Modernist views which were prominent in the churches of his time. His son, my father, - Cliff Taylor, like me - was also a minister, but never aligned himself with any particular school of theology, although he retained his father's suspicion of anything too liberal. When I was studying theology in Cambridge [or 'Divinity' as it's called there], much of the teaching was firmly in the liberal camp. Through my first few years in full-time ministry, I gradually worked out which of those teachings I could retain, and which I had to reject in favour of a more traditional position. Still, like my father, I've never signed up to the teachings of fundamentalism in any of its varieties. My main issue with fundamentalism is that it's a man-made doctrine which requires the Bible to adhere to its ideas. To me, that's an impertinence. I'd much rather read the Bible, remaining open to what it says, warts 'n' all. In that way, I hope to present a recognisably traditional message without rejecting too much of the scholarship of the last hundred years.
