"Confidence in the authority and inerrancy of Scripture is ebbing today,
even in evangelicalism. Postmodernism and certain hermeneutical presuppositions threaten to undermine the foundations of evangelicalism. Greg
Beale's sturdy, convincing, and courageous defense of the accuracy and
inerrancy of Scripture bolsters our assurance that God's Word is true. Praise
God for this scholarly and spirited defense of the truth of Scripture."
- Thomas R. Schreiner, James Buchanan
Professor of New Testament Interpretation,
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
"The nature of Scripture has been an ongoing issue of controversy in
evangelicalism for decades, yet today the orthodox position of inerrancy
is under severe attack as in no other period—and the attack is coming
from evangelicals themselves. Beale has done a great service in attempting
to bring us back to the right way of thinking about the Scriptures. They
are indeed fully inerrant and fully authoritative. This book is a must–read
for our generation."
- John D. Currid, Carl McMurray Professor of Old Testament,
Reformed Theological Seminary
"As evangelical scholarship has come of age and evangelical scholars
confidently take their place in the mainstream academy, a danger lurks
that we might lose any sense of what makes us evangelical scholars. This
book sounds a much-needed warning against abandoning our evangelical
moorings. Beale provides a penetrating critique of Peter Enns's challenge
to evangelical notions of inerrancy, leaning on reputable Old Testament
and ancient Near Eastern scholarship in doing so. He also presents invaluable original analyses to bolster his case in areas of his specialties—early
Judaism, hermeneutics, and the Old Testament in the New. I highly rec-
ommend this book."
- David M. Howard Jr., Professor of Old Testament, Bethel Seminary
"At last, a leading biblical scholar has produced a full-blown defense of
biblical inerrancy in a user-friendly style. This is just what is needed in
the current debate, and Beale has provided it magnificently."
- Gerald Bray, Research Professor, Beeson Divinity School
