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.

Thanks so much for that! It's been wonderful for read these each week :) I hope you don't mind, but I've added you to my blogroll. I'm call Canada home as well, Vancouver Island specifically. 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.
