This selection is by Jack Harwell, editor of Baptists Today, the national liberal Baptist newspaper. This passage is contained in a letter to Joe Dunaway of 31 December 1974 cited in The Battle for the Bible, Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1976:

“I do not use the word infallible because the Bible is written by men. I would ask you to check very closely the statement ‘truth without any mixture of error.’ The statement says that truth is not mixed with error but it does not say that the Bible is not mixed with error. ... I do not believe in the plenary inspiration of the Bible. ... I do not believe that Adam and Eve were one man and one woman.”
