Because God has made himself known in his Word, a commitment to a high view of Scripture is of paramount importance. Sadly, more and more people--not only from outside the church but also from within--are denying the complete truthfulness of God's Word.

I am beginning a long term study of the doctrine of Scripture. I wanted to prime the pump a bit and chose this book to do so. It was an excellent choice. None of the articles discuss an issue comprehensively. Each chapter could have been a book. But what the book does do is give you a good orientation to the major issues, such as the character of God, textual criticism, the Spirit's work, inspiration, illumination, apparent contradictions, pastoral implications of inerrancy, and numerous footnot

As the title suggests, this is an extended declaration and defence of biblical inerrancy, authored by a veritable Who's Who of evangelical pastor-scholars. As with any collection of essays, some are better than others, but the whole experience of reading this was encouraging, and some of the essays were superb.
The book is divided into four sections. The first covers the basics, "building the case" for inerrancy from key biblical passages. This covers familiar ground, but important ground. Secti ...more

An excellent collection by two dozen scholars on the subject, focusing on very particular issues relating to inerrancy. I wondered as I began what so many authors would have to say on the subject. Would it be repetitive? But the project was very carefully designed and executed to avoid such concerns.

Foundation of Christian Faith
The doctrine of Scripture’s inerrancy is central to Christian Faith. The articles in this book succeeded in demonstrate that. One of the most important conclusions it derived recognizes the direct link between the integrity of the biblical message and the affirmation of its inerrancy. The book also shows that the main attack directed at this doctrine came from inside and not outside the Church. The debate between liberalism and evangelicalism (fundamentalism) in Chr ...more

Doze pastores e eruditos cristãos abordam de modo acessível e firme a doutrina depreciada - mas sem a qual não existe cristianismo - de que, em seus autógrafos, a Bíblia não contém erros. Mesmo se você, como eu, tem certa precaução com livros “organizados”, em razão das inevitáveis repetições, vai ver que este é recompensador. O melhor capítulo, para mim, é o de Beale explicando o uso que Mateus fez de Oséias 11.1.
This is a textbook, something you would expect to find in your seminary training. Its purpose is to pound home the message of the inerrancy of the Word of God and this it does well, but it is best you know this going in. I am glad I read it, but I will say that it is not for everyone. It takes considerable discipline to stay seated long enough to gobble up the 400+ pages.
I give this book a hearty AMEN! The inerrancy of scripture is a crucial and foundational presupposition for us as Disciples of Jesus Christ.
Actually used Audible.com to "read" it, but Audible wasn't an option on Goodreads.

This is truly everything you would need or want in a contemporary defense of biblical inerrancy. It starts by looking at Scriptures claims concerning itself; highlights include a chapter by Derek Thomas on 2 Peter 1 and a chapter by Kevin DeYoung on Matthew 5:17-20. The next part of the book is an historical survey. Don't miss Carl Trueman's chapter on the Reformation and Steve Nichols' on modernism. Then Part 3 addresses critics of inerrancy. This is the longest and deepest portion of the book.

JMAC called for a 21st century inerrancy conference and had many of the evangelical leaders speak to the topic. This book collates all those sermons into one package, among some other goodies.
