Hi
For those who have been following this thread this morning as I was reading the weekend addition of the devotional I read (Table Talk), there was an interview of Dr. Stephen Nichols, where part of the interview fit right in with the doctrine of inerrancy and I thought you might be interested in reading it.

Table Talk: Why are you concerned with defending the doctrine of the inerrancy of Scripture in this day and age?

Stephen Nichols: Defending inerrancy is necessary precisely because it is being challenged and even jettisoned by many who would claim to be evangelical. The doctrine of inerrancy reminds us that the Bible is God’s authoritative and trustworthy Word to us. My concern is with alternative views, and especially with the consequences of those alternatives. If you do not hold to inerrancy, what do you have? Essentially, you have limited inerrancy. That has the Bible submitting to us-to our judgment. That has it all topsy-turvy. The doctrine of Scripture is the domino, so to speak. If it falls in the wrong direction, the whole chain of dominoes falls in the wrong direction.
