From his comments in this weeks relevant podcast, I believe he was going to explain that he was try to maintain his objectivity as a journalist when he turned down the invitation.

I don't understand this statement, is the book trying to say that we must pick and choose what we believe and what is relevant to us in our daily walk? Which would go on to mean that the Bible as a whole is not applicable to our daily lives and was just a once used instrument for long ago. But I believe it to be completely truthful and useful as a standard in my life so i must be reading incorrectly into this paragraph. So if you could help me out in telling me what they mean that would be very nice thankyou.

I agree with a lot of what it says, how we need to search for the original intent of the author and such. My problem however, is not everyone has the teaching and the resources to perform good exegesis and hermeneutics. I think we can get lost in the obsession with finding the right interpretation and the original intent, and lose the communion with God we are supposed to get from reading the Bible. God knew what he was doing when he wrote it, and he knew the broad spectrum of people who would read it, he didn't make is super complicated so only well-educated and intelligent people could find the "true" meaning behind the scripture. I think as we grow in our faith and our relationship with Christ the deeper study is good, but it can't be expected of everyone and you can't just assume people who aren't at that level are doing it wrong. There's still something to say from the simple communion with God, getting to know him better, and the intimate time spent with him in his word.
