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.
