Five Views on Biblical Inerrancy

There is little doubt that the inerrancy of the Bible is a current and often contentious topic among evangelicals. Five Views on Biblical Inerrancyrepresents a timely contribution by showcasing the spectrum of evangelical positions on inerrancy, facilitating understanding of these perspectives, particularly where and why they diverge.Each essay in Five Views on Biblical Inerrancyconsiders:the present context and the viability and relevance of inerrancy for the contemporary evangelical Christian witness;whether and to what extent Scripture teaches its own inerrancy;the position's assumed/implied understandings of the nature of Scripture, God, and truth; andthree difficult biblical texts, one that concerns intra-canonical contradictions, one that raises questions of theological plurality, and one that concerns historicity.The book serves not only as a single-volume resource for surveying the current debate, but also as a catalyst both for understanding and advancing the conversation further. Contributors include Al Mohler, Kevin Vanhoozer, Michael Bird, Peter Enns, and John Franke.
