Reviews

[Caroline Garza · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very helpful quick introduction into inerrancy. This is a short book, so it does not thoroughly cover the issue. But I appreciated the definitions, explanations of common arguments and counter arguments, and scriptures.

[Simeon Brazzell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Quick, concise, and right on target. Makes his case based on the presuppositions of both sides. If you want to find errors you can find them. If you want to believe what God teaches about inerrancy in Scripture, you can deal with perceived inconsistencies. I chose to believe about the Bible what Christ clearly believed about it. It is inerrant.

[Matt Crawford · Rating 3 out of 5]

The beginning is very brief discussion on the issue of inerrancy. The second half proposes some challenges to inerrancy. The defenses are missing though.
