We held three scholarly gatherings to hammer out three documents of “affirmation and denial.” The first, quite naturally, was on inerrancy (“The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy”).3The second was on sound principles of biblical interpretation (“The Chicago Statement on Biblical Hermeneutics”).4The third dealt with Bible application (“The Chicago Statement on Biblical Application”).5We also held two large lay conferences, the first in San Diego in the spring of 1982 and the second in Washington in the fall of 1988.
