It was a 7 post blog adventure, but we’re finished! It is my hope in this series that Christians can find confidence in the full truthfulness of the Scriptures, both in principle and in history.

Inerrancy and The Reformed Faith of Today and Yesterday Many semi-liberal, Reformed thinkers who are anti-conservative-evangelical (i.e. Dordt College profs, Calvin College profs, Thinknet, Roy Clouser and his cronies, etc.) have often tried to separate Old Princeton’s rigorous work on the doctrine of inspiration from Neo-Calvinists’ (Bavinck and Kuyper) doctrine of Scripture. That is, they [...]
