Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy 5

What do Christians mean when they say the Bible is inerrant? The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy tells us what leading inerrantist mean by inerrancy. I’ll be posting a section of this statement each week until I’ve posted the whole thing.

You can read previously posted sections of this statement in by clicking here. After a preface and a short statement, the Chicago Statement contains a section called Articles of Affirmation and Denial.

Article III.

We affirm that the written Word in its entirety is revelation given by God.  

We deny that the Bible is merely a witness to revelation, or only becomes revelation in encounter, or depends on the responses of men for its validity.

I'm really enjoying these postings, Rebecca. I've been reading a book of essays about B.B. Warfield's life and thought, and much of this dovetails nicely with what I'm reading about Warfield.

I think what your writing and sharing is so valuable, and I'm grateful for the thought and work you put into each post. So, thanks! Have a beautiful week.

Hi Brittany,

Thank you for your encouragement. I've been all around the rest of British Columbia, but never to Vancouver Island.
