Can the Bible be both inaccurate and irrefutable? No, says Beale, in this examination of the writings of Peter Enns and others who support compromise in the matter of inerrancy. Citing contradictions, dichotomies, oversights, and faulty reasoning in attempts to redefine the traditional evangelical view of scriptural authority, he offers a resounding defense against postmodern attacks.

Examines recent efforts to redefine the traditional evangelical view of scriptural authority. Providing scores of arguments that demonstrate inerrancy, Beale's logic presents formidable challenges to postmodern suppositions.

G. K. BEALE serves as professor of New Testament and is the Kenneth T. Wessner chair of biblical studies at Wheaton Graduate School. In recent years he has served both as president and on the executive committee of the Evangelical Theological Society. He has written several books and articles on biblical studies and was the editor of Right Doctrine from Wrong Texts?

Examines recent postmodern efforts to redefine the traditional evangelical view of scriptural authority and counters with sound logic that supports inerrancy.

Due to recent popular challenges to evangelical doctrine, biblical inerrancy is a topic receiving an increasing amount of attention among theologians and other scholars. Here G. K. Beale attempts vigorously and even-handedly to examine the writings of one leading postmodernist, Peter Enns, whose writings challenge biblical authority. In support of inerrancy, Beale presents his own set of challenges to the postmodern suppositions of Enns and others.

How can the Bible be historically inaccurate while still serving as the authoritative word on morality and salvation? Beale concludes that it cannot, and his work will aid all who support biblical inerrancy in defending their position against postmodern attacks. This is an issue that affects the entire body of Christ.
