The Hebrew scholar John Hobbins that I’ve often enjoyed (and time to time critiqued) has written a post entitled “Evangelical teachers have forgotten what inerrancy means.” He makes a number of interesting (and false) assertions that merits response. Why? First and most importantly, the doctrine of inerrancy is absolutely central to the Christian. We’re talking [...]

Chris Date at Theopologetics interviewed Dr. White on Roman Catholicism for his podcast (here), and later interviewed me on Scriptural inerrancy (here). They were both very edifying discussions (over a solid hour each), and I think would help a lot of folks “fill in the gaps” on these issues.

I’m spending a considerable amount of time critiquing McGowan’s work because, well, ultimately, if the Scriptures aren’t inerrant, we’re toast as believers who seek knowledge of [...]
