THE INERRANT WORD: BIBLICAL, HISTORICAL, THEOLOGICAL, AND PASTORAL PERSPECTIVES, edited by John MacArthur

John MacArthur continues to be a leading voice in the defense and exposition of biblical inerrancy. Throughout his ministry in preaching and writing he has kept this doctrine in the headlines, and just last year (2015) we welcomed his Scripture Cannot Be Broken – a valuable collection of historic, landmark essays on inspiration. Now in March of this year he offers what promises to be one of the leading contemporary resources on the subject. In his new The Inerrant Word MacArthur brings together an all-star team of Evangelical pastors and theologians to address and expound inerrancy from various biblical, historical, theological, and pastoral perspectives. The list of contributors and topics in the Table of Contents speaks for itself!
