Is the Bible Really Without Error? Challenges That Don't Work

We've looked at the idea that the Bible can be factually erroneous yet still somehow be spiritually infallible. And we found that claim to be irrational and incoherent. But that doesn't address the challenges of those who reject biblical inerrancy. Are their arguments valid? In this episode, we examine the most common challenges to the inerrancy of Scripture.

So Why Should We Trust the Bible?

Do we have valid reasons for accepting the Bible as divinely inspired and reliable? What do we do when we run across a passage in Scripture that seems disturbing or that might be in error? We'll deal with these questions this week. Curt Parton serves as teaching pastor for The Orchard in Fair Oaks, CA (orchardonline.org [http://orchardonline.org]).

Can the Bible Be Infallible Without Being Error-Free?

Can Scripture be theologically infallible but not inerrant? Is this even a valid option? We'll look at the connection between these two ideas, and how they relate to the divine inspiration of Scripture, in this week's episode.

The Bible: Are We Reading What They Wrote?

When we read the Bible today, are we relying on "translations of translations of translations"? How can we be confident that what we're reading now is what the original biblical authors wrote? We're exploring these issues this week. Note: There won't be an episode next week, but we'll be back May 26!
