Standing on the rock1984

If you ever thought that the argument for the inerrancy of the Bible was just "so much semantics," then you need to read this book. Dr. Boice, pastor of a dynamic Philadelphia church and chairman of the International Council for Biblical Inerrancy, shows in clear, easy-to-read language that an inerrant Bible is not only credible, but the only sure foundation of faith. In Standing on the Rock, Dr. Boice: defines biblical inspiration -- how we got the Bible and why God used human writers; explains the principles for interpreting Scripture; answers the critics' arguments suggesting an error-filled Bible; explains why some ever doubted the Bible's inerrancy. Included in this easy-to-understand volume are: The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy (1978), nineteen affirmations explaining what is meant by inerrancy; The Chicago Statement on Biblical Hermeneutics (1982), how the inerrant Word of God is to be interpreted. - Back cover.
