“A record-low 20% of Americans now say the Bible is the literal word of God…. a new high of 29% say the Bible is a collection of ‘fables, legends, history and moral precepts recorded by man.’” - Gallup

“Christ in All the Scriptures“ ?
Body
“…please do discover in Scripture all the things concerning Christ, but do not find things concerning Christ directly in every verse of Scripture. Your credibility depends on your successful discernment of the two.” - Snoeberger
Updating the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy: A Proposal
Body
“…should we concur with Geisler that the CSBI is in no need of revision? Has there been no positive advance in the doctrine of Scripture since 1978 that may help strengthen the CSBI for future theological and ecclesial use?” - TGC
Contradictions in Genesis?

Covenantal and Dispensational Theologies: Four Views on the Continuity of Scripture
Body
“I just read this debate-book, and it’s as good as I had hoped. I plan to require it in my systematic theology course on the church and the end times.” - Andy Naselli
Augustine Actually (and Clearly) Affirmed Sola Scriptura
Body
“The goal of this video is not prove that sola Scriptura is right. The goal is simply historical accuracy. What Augustine believed is interesting and relevant, but it’s not decisive for sola Scriptura.” - Justin Taylor/Gavin Ortlund

“Good and Necessary Consequence” (WCF) or “Necessarily Contained in” (2LCF): Is There a Difference?
In Chapter One: “Of the Holy Scripture,” the Second London Confession of Faith (2LCF) is almost identical to the Westminster Confession of Faith (WCF) and the Savoy Declaration (SD) on which it is based.1 There are only three minor differences worth noting.2 First, the Baptists add a sentence at the beginning of the chapter that is found neither in the WCF nor in the SD: “The Holy Scripture is the only sufficient, certain, and infallible rule of all saving knowledge, faith, and obedience.”3 Se
