Last month we published a critique concerned that some evangelical scholars are departing from the traditional evangelical position that Scripture is inerrant. Here is Dr McGrath's reply . . .
I am delighted to join the helpful discussion initiated by Dr. Paul Gardner on the authority of Scripture.
Our central evangelical affirmation of the total authority and reliability of Scripture is of such importance that we must keep talking about the best ways of affirming and defending that authority in the face of the many challenges it faces today. Severe limits on space will not allow me to address the issues raised by Dr. Gardner in the full depth which they deserve. However, I hope that this brief response will be helpful.
