Answering Bible Difficulties – Introduction
The Bible is God’s trustworthy revelation of Himself to humanity. Historically, Christians have believed that His Word is true in all that it teaches. However, believers do recognize that the Bible does contain a number of difficulties. This book concerns the subject of Bible difficulties as well as the doctrine of the inerrancy, or trustworthiness, of Scripture.
Inerrancy is a theological term that is used by a number of Christians to explain the nature of the Bible—it is without error. Yet, not everyone is convinced of this. So many questions are raised by believers and unbelievers alike. Does the Bible contain any errors in its contents? Are there mistakes and contradictions in the original text of Scripture? Can a holy God divinely inspire a Book that contains errors? Does it really matter, one way or another, if there are errors in Scripture? These and other similar issues will be considered as we examine this very important topic.
We will also look at a number of specific objections that are often raised against the idea of an inerrant Bible. It will be seen that all of these objections have reasonable answers. When all the evidence is in, it will be found that the Bible is exactly what it claims to be: God’s error-free Word, totally trustworthy in all that it teaches.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
