A Repackaged Edition of J. I. Packer’s Robust Defense of Biblical Inerrancy
With the Bible's historical and scientific accuracy under attack, many Christians have abandoned their long-standing conviction that it is truly God's word. How should the church respond to doubts about the trustworthiness of Scripture?
In this repackaged edition of God Has Spoken, late theologian J. I. Packer mounts a formative defense of the inerrancy of the Bible, calling readers to reclaim the unity between inspiration (how God has spoken) and revelation (what God has spoken). Packer argues that the doctrine of Scripture is essential because it is how Christians learn about the character of God, his purpose for the world, and their fallen state. Without this, mankind is left without the saving message of the gospel. This classic text continues to be relevant today as it challenges a new generation of readers to trust in God’s word as the inerrant source of truth.
