“Truth is immutable. The Bible is, therefore, not to be interpreted by a set of philosophical dogmas, which vary, it may be, with every successive age: but by a careful examination and comparison of its several words and phrases. These obvious way-marks were the same in the time of Augustine and Calvin, and the Westminster divines, as they are now; and it is by a faithful adherence to these, that so much uniformity has been preserved among Christians of every age, in regard to the doctrines of our holy religion.” — James Wood, Old and New Theology: or, An Exhibition of Those Differences With Regard to Scripture Doctrines, Which Have Recently Agitated and Now Divided the Presbyterian Church (1838), pp. 12-13
