The Bible is inerrant. This has always been the conviction of believers throughout the ages until the 18th century Enlightenment when audacious attacks were mounted against Scripture. In this study of the doctrine of inerrancy, we examine the biblical basis for inerrancy, its history that culminated with the 1978 Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, its clarification given by that statement, and the dangers of holding to an errantist view of Scripture.

The call to repent and believe in Jesus Christ is heard by many but only some receive it. Those who receive the call, by faith, will also receive the sanctifying aspect of the call so that holiness becomes evident in their lives.

“When the Bible speaks, God speaks.” This is divine authority with which Scripture speaks is the logical and natural implication of the doctrine of inspiration. If the Bible is breathed out by God, then it stands to reason that it speaks with His authority. Scripture confirms this to be so. The word of God comes like a thunder and a roar and all who believe tremble at His word.

God revealed Himself through HIs word and it is in His word that God gave us the doctrine of Scripture. Bibliology is the lens by which we see God. If our lens is tinted, blurred, or otherwise skewed, all that we see is distorted and out of focus. But if our lens is clear and prestine, we can see crystal clear what God has revealed about Himself and our souls are richly blessed by believing, honoring, and obeying all that He has said. In this first study of Bibliology, we focus on the doctrine of inspiration. May the Spirit of God grant us both the mind and heart to receive His word for our good and for the glory of God.
