The traditional view of inerrancy, which means the Bible is totally without error, prevents the erosion of the authority and accuracy of Scripture. Leading apologist and bestselling authors William C. Roach and Norman L. Geisler, one of the original drafters of the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, present a defense of traditional understanding. Written for a new generation of Christians who are being assaulted with challenges to the nature of God, truth, and language, this volume is a valuable resource.

Norm Geisler and I both served on the ICBI for the ten years of its existence. What Dr. Geisler has now written in his new book is certainly a masterpiece and worthy of careful attention by all who are interested in dealing with the inerrancy of the Word of God.

—Earl D. Radmacher, president emeritus, Western Seminary

This is one of the most important books of the decade. Geisler and Roach not only answer contemporary challenges to inerrancy but also provide a theological, apologetical, and philosophical analysis and defense of inerrancy that is rather stunning in its breadth and detail. Theology students both young and old will benefit immensely from this well-researched, well-written volume.

—Ron Rhodes, president, Reasoning from the Scriptures Ministries

William C. Roach has served as a research assistant to Dr. Norman Geisler and is an ordained minister, active speaker, and writer.

Solid, insightful answers to difficult and intriguing questions that only Geisler could do. A must-read.
