Inerancy as the Queen Mum of Evangelicalism, Monday, November 4th, 2019 by Douglas Wilson. Introduction

Secularists scoff at the Bible.

Postmodernists sneer at the meta-narrative for not being their own, and liberals cherry-pick what they find

to be of lasting spiritual value, according to the canons of the very latest contagions from the academy.

And in the face of such manifest unbelief, conservative inerantists draw themselves up to their full height in order to

pretend to believe in the Bible. And of course, the appearance given by such stated conviction also provides an appearance of courage,

which was perhaps the point.

Inerrancy is the Queen Mum of evangelicals, honored, respected, and praised in the abstract,

while entirely ignored when it comes to practical obedience.

Ignored, that is, unless it is one of those special holidays where she is trundled out onto a balcony to wave at her

loyal sons and daughters below.

Correction, make that her disloyal sons and daughters.

Folks are willing to show up periodically to be waived at by the Chicago statement,

but that is the full extent of their commitment.

Inerrancy appears to have nothing to do with issues like authority and obedience.

Inerrancy is only there to beam at us while we continue to do whatever we took it into our heads to do.
