Message text written by Brian D Harper:

>Why not call it the doctrine of inspiration? Inerrancy would
then be a possible interpretation of the scriptural concept,
which is inspiration.<

Bloesch prefers the term "infallible," probably because inerrancy has
become loaded.

<<The Baptist Faith and Message puts forth a similar doctrine.
It concludes with the following statement that I really love:

"The criterion by which the Bible is to be interpreted is
Jesus Christ.">>

Clark Pinnock wrote a good book some years back called "The Scripture
Principle," which expands upon this concept. I recommend it.

Best,
