Inerrancy and the Gospels: How to Handle Narrative Differences
Defending the inerrancy of scripture can be a challenging task for the unprepared Christian. In the world today, there is no shortage of critical voices speaking out against the authority of scripture. Even within Christendom, some seem determined to undermine the bible’s inerrancy in every instance. Therefore, Christians need to be equipped to defend, not only their faith but also the scriptures on which the only true, ancient religion is based upon.
Our Cultural Moment
The apoplectic rage of those who wish to protect their “right” to terminate the life of the innocent is nothing short of astounding.
