A Betrayal of Biblical Scholarship

New Testament scholar C. H. Dodd, in the introduction to his commentary on the book of Romans, wrote "Sometimes I think Paul was wrong, and I have ventured to say so." 

No sir. You have no liberty to do that. The New Testament apostles wrote with special, divine authority. We have no right today to say, "Well, Paul may have believed such and such, but my view is different."

That would be a betrayal of true biblical scholarship.
