A: Biblical inerrancy has become the dominant hallmark of fundamentalism because it is foundational to the rest of the fundamentals. Inerrancy encompasses the crucial doctrines of Christ's Virgin Birth, substitutionary death on the Cross, and bodily resurrection because without a reliable testimony to these events, we could not be certain of their historicity. After all, the Bible is where these things are recorded. Scientific investigation cannot establish whether or not Jesus was born of a virgin, rose from the dead, or that His death on the Cross satisfied God's justice. Only special revelation from the Creator can reveal these things. This is what the Bible claims to be. If it is inerrant, then these other events are sure. If it contains errors, then its reliability in all areas is questionable. Continue reading to learn how this essential doctrine has come under attack, and see how to answer the opposition.
