“Every new item that Vern Poythress writes is thoughtful, creative, and worth reading. This book is no exception. Among the many things I like about it is his emphasis on the personalist worldview of the Bible, as over against the impersonalism that dominates modern Western culture.”

“Poythress shows quite convincingly that the issue of inerrancy is not just a matter of asking whether this or that biblical passage is factual. This book gets deeper into the question of inerrancy than any other book I know.”

Vern Poythress offers the first worldview-based defense of inerrancy, showing how worldview differences create or aggravate most perceived difficulties with the Bible. Poythress’s engaging response to current attempts to abandon or redefine inerrancy will enable Christians to respond well to modern challenges by employing a worldview that allows the Bible to speak on its own terms.

“With clear logic and pastoral care, Poythress leads us through an amazing tour of both the ‘wisdom of our age’ and the follies of our hearts, bringing us at last to the God who speaks—humbling our pride and setting our hearts free.”
