An International View of Inerrancy

From koinonia, here is my promo video of an international view of inerrancy.

I should mention that over at the TGC, Andrew Wilson also has a piece on Why I Don’t Hate the Word ‘Inerrancy’ from a UK perspective. He argues that it is hard to contend for an errant Bible based on the teachings of an inerrant Jesus, but he writes as well:

My limited experience in transatlantic dialogue suggests that the word “inerrancy” is divisive in America, up there with “Texas” and “Pelosi” in the list of words most likely to prompt expressions of luminescent ecstasy in some and enraged inarticulate spluttering in others. It seems to be a tribal marker, a password that clearly divides the teams into goodies and baddies, the mere mention of which can cause both sides to run scurrying to the barricades, whether they’re faithful conservatives contending with woolly liberals, or reflective centrists contending with mindless fundies. In the UK, however, it’s not such a contentious concept.

Exactly, so while the language of inerrancy and its associated connotations might be expedient for some contexts like the USA (HT: Kevin Vanhoozer) it is evidently not essential in all contexts where different issues and different theological boundaries have developed.
