I agree wholeheartedly with the above.
I don't just believe in inerrancy because it is part of my Christian
heritage - I believe in inerrancy for good theological, philosophical and
epistemological reasons.
I realise there are apparent contradictions and textual problems and I
attribute the problems we have in understanding to God's greatness and
man comparative smallness.
