Norman L. Geisler and William C. Roach defend the full inerrancy of Scripture as framed in the Chicago Statement, and answer the modern attempts to redefine it. Read more.
The doctrine of inerrancy has been held for the whole of church history, and it is now under pressure from inside evangelicalism. Norman Geisler, one of the original framers of the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, writes with William Roach to restate what the doctrine claims and to answer the alternatives being proposed: limited inerrancy, accommodation to ancient error, genre redefinitions that empty the historical claims, and the postmodern reframing of truth itself.
The book works both historically and philosophically, tracing the view of Scripture held by the church and then examining particular current proposals by name. For pastors, elders and students, it supplies the arguments and the primary-source grounding needed to see what is actually at stake in a debate that is often conducted in vague terms. A substantial reference on the doctrine of Scripture.
