Although I have already blogged about biblical authority and inerrancy, I came across this article which I think fits as a nice follow-up resource that helps round out some of my thoughts on the matter. In summary, the author explains how modern evangelicals embrace an inerrant Bible out of a reaction to the Enlightenment skepticism that viewed that entire Bible as myth. Thus, both positions are outdated products of the Enlightenment and modernity, and should no longer be of any concern to contemporary Christians. Also, the author explains two postmodern philosophers (Derrida and Lyotard) and how their thought has caused deep controversy in the Christian community. I think that this article is perfect for anyone who has questions about biblical inerrancy and does not have a background in philosophy or theology.
