Inerrancy of Scripture

"Inerrancy of Scripture: How Can We Believe Inerrancy of Scripture in the Originals When We Don't Have the Originals?" delves into the complexities surrounding the authenticity and inerrancy of the Bible. Author and conservative Bible scholar, provides a comprehensive exploration of how faith in the inerrancy of Scripture can be maintained even in the absence of original biblical texts. Throughout the book, the author examines the formation of the Canon, scrutinizes the doctrine of biblical inerrancy and infallibility, and explores why we don't necessarily need the original manuscripts to believe in the inerrancy of Scripture. The discourse extends to why the Holy Spirit would allow for errors in copies after inspiring the original inerrant texts and probes how we can reconcile belief in inerrant originals when we don't possess them. Diving into the book writing process of the New Testament, the author discusses the place of writing, the role of the scribe, and the influence of inspiration and inerrancy during the writing process. Further sections of the book tackle the issues of textual variants, the early Christian view of the integrity of the Greek New Testament books, and the legacy of the Hebrew Scriptures. As skepticism grows in the modern age, the author brings attention to the dangers of skepticism, ambiguity, and uncertainty, and offers readers a faithful response to selective skepticism when it comes to God and the Bible. The book also explores the role of the Holy Spirit in the inspiration of the Bible's authors and presents explanations for common Bible difficulties. "Inerrancy of Scripture" concludes with a thoughtful consideration of why God has allowed the proliferation of different religions, numerous Christian denominations, and a multitude of textual variants in the books He inspired. This work serves as a detailed and nuanced study for those seeking to navigate the intersections of faith, historical criticism, and scriptural understanding in the pursuit of biblical inerrancy. Ideal for scholars, theologians, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the reliability of Scripture, this book is an invaluable addition to your theological library.
