Inerrancy is a collection of essays by fourteen leading evangelical scholars on a wide range of topics related to the doctrine of the inerrancy of the Bible. Footnotes and index are included.

Impeccable

This book is a scholar's standard for a logical support of the doctrine of inerrancy. This doctrine is central to the Christian faith in supporting the reliability and authority of the Sacred Scriptures. This book is a MUST read for any who are wondering about the nature of Scripture, or have questions about the qualifications of inerrancy and inspiration.

Make no mistake

This unpopular but invaluable book sets forth the proofs for biblical "inerrancy"--the doctrine that every word of Christian Scripture is inspired by the Holy Ghost: the Bible is therefore literally true, scientifically sound, and historically accurate.

Granted, Geisler is unconcerned with grammatical errors, lapses in prose style, and awkward syntax. As one of my friends once said, it's interesting to note that when God wished to communicate with mankind, He decided to write a book - and that He did not first learn to write *better*. If I were God, and if the Bible were the best prose I could produce in six thousand years, then I would have the good sense to get off the great White Throne and let someone else sit there and think for a while. "Publish or perish," that's my motto.

But that's not Geisler's point.

Geisler reminds us that the Holy Bible is not just some long, bad, boring book comprised of 66 short, bad, boring books. It is the Word of God. It was written, not by Yahveh or Jesus, nor by Moses or King David or Paul, but by the holy Ghost - which is actually where the English phrase, "Ghost writer," comes from. Each book in the Bible bears the name of a celebrity or saint (e.g., Moses, King David, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John), and yet every one of those 66 books was actually dictated by the holy Ghost (2 Peter 1:21).

Working off and on from about 1500 BCE to 100 CE, with the help of various human secretaries, the holy Ghost finished writing the Bible in just under sixteen centuries - which on God's timetable is quick as a wink. He shifted gears as he went along. Starting out in ancient Hebrew (the only human language he ever fully mastered), the Ghost switched to Aramaic and thence to Greek, thereby to prove his diversity as a linguist, albeit with some unfortunate lapses with respect to standard grammar and prose style. But that's the whole point of Geisler's book: when it comes to proper grammar and literary sophistication, the good Lord, He do'nt give a dead ducks' fart about none of that.

Norman Geisler's *Inerrancy" reminds us that the Word of God was never supposed to be *literature*, it is supposed to be *true*. There is a difference.

With respect to factual accuracy, the holy Ghost's record is unimpeachable. God is a stickler for the facts. In that respect, the Lord is no less strict than, say, Judge Judy. You will not find in the entire English Bible a single misstatement, misquotation, exaggeration, or contradiction. The well-vetted New International Version in particular contains no theological or scientific or historical errors. In fact, apart from the aforesaid grammatical goofs, tangled syntax, bloopers in word-usage, etc., etc., etc., which are easily corrected by translators, the Holy Bible is the world's first and only book containing no mistakes of any kind.

Great book!

This book, though lengthy, serves as an outstanding introduction to the concept of inerrancy, an extremely important foundational truth concerning the Bible. It is used by seminaries but is important for all who are interested in how God inspired the writing of the Bible.
