The inerrancy of God's Word has been attacked throughout church history, but the present assaults are distinctive: neo-evangelicals now accept postmodern ideas of history and historical-critical ideologies that undercut the doctrine from within.

They seek, the editors argue, to redefine the orthodox meaning of inerrancy rather than to deny it outright, which makes the dispute harder to see. The volume is edited by F. David Farnell, Norman L. Geisler, Joseph M. Holden, William C. Roach and Phil Fernandez, and gathers essays measuring the current positions against the Chicago Statement.
