That's one of the things I find so telling about this whole issue. No other Bible in history has ever been held to by so many as being pure and authoritative. But nobody who actively promotes modern translations would dare say any of them are absolutely authoritative.

Very true. Maverick shows the typical mindset of today's Bible Agnostics. They don't take a stand on anything regarding the Bible issue. In his thinking, all truth is relative, undefined and unknowable. If he were to actually take a stand on any particular Bible or complete set of Scripture as being the very words of God in contrast to those that are not, then he would offend all his cronies and fellow 'scholars', and he doesn't want to do THAT.
In reality his statement is on the same spiritual level as saying: "I could claim the same for ANY way of salvation. Absolute truth does not exist. All is relative and we don't want to offend the Hindus, Buddists, New Agers, Muslims or atheists, now do we?"
