Five Views on Biblical Inerrancy
J. Merrick and stephen m. garrett, general editors
There is little doubt that the inerrancy of the Bible is a current and often contentious topic among
evangelicals. Five Views on Biblical Inerrancy represents a timely contribution by showcasing the
spectrum of evangelical positions on inerrancy, facilitating understanding of these perspectives,
particularly where and why they diverge.
Contributors and views include:
• R. Albert Mohler: When the Bible Speaks God Speaks, The Classic Doctrine of Biblical Inerrancy
• Peter Enns: Inerrancy However Defined, Does Not Describe What the Bible Does
• Michael F. Bird: Inerrancy Is Not Necessary for Evangelicalism Outside the USA
• Kevin J. Vanhoozer: Well-Versed Inerrancy—Literary Meaning, Literal Truth, and Literate
Interpretation in the Economy of Biblical Discourse
• John R. Franke: Recasting Inerrancy—The Bible as Witness to Missional Plurality
Each essay in Five Views on Biblical Inerrancy considers:
• The present context and the viability and relevance for the contemporary evangelical
Christian witness
• Whether and to what extent Scripture teaches its own inerrancy
• The position’s assumed/implied understandings of the nature of Scripture, God, and truth
• Three difficult biblical texts, one that concerns intra-canonical contradictions, one that raises
questions of theological plurality, and one that concerns historicity
