In my previous post, I ranted about those who feel the need to call the Bible 100% accurate about historical facts. The Bible is not about historical facts. Indeed, I imagine there are very few historical facts in the Bible that might actually make any difference in anyone’s life. At the moment, I can think [...]

I know that some people feel that they have to use the word “inerrancy” to describe the Bible in order to be part of their community of faith (generally, more conservative evangelical or even fundamentalist groups).
