Re: [asa] Question on inerrancy (debate?)

See Bacote, Miguelez and Okholm, "Evangelicals & Scripture: Tradition,
Authority and Hermeneutics" (Intervarsity 2004). There are a range of
essays in this volume, from strict inerrancy to a progressive view of
accommodation, from many of the leading lights in contemporary evangelical
theology. I think you might see from the different perspectives presented
there that "is the Bible inerrant" is far too simplistic a question.

From the Introduction: "As the early church saw the importance of holding
to the totality of the testimony concerning Jesus Christ -- ihe is fully God
and fully human -- so in our own day we continue to wrestle with a similar
affirmation about the nature of the Old and New Testament revelation: it is
fully divine in its origin, and yet it comes to us by means of fully human
agents."
