Summary

Is it possible that the Bible actually contains errors? And if so, how would these errors impact the message of the Gospel? These are fair questions that some Christians may be afraid to ask. But does an error or two discredit the overall authenticity and reliability of the Scriptures or the historicity of the Resurrection?For this midweek podcast, Dr. Mike Licona (https://www.risenjesus.com/), author of the brand new book 'Jesus, Contradicted: Why the Gospels Tell the Same Story Differently (https://a.co/d/9SdDitG)' returns to continue unpacking the true meaning of biblical inerrancy and to explore the significance of compositional writing styles of the ancient world. What are some of the "errors" that can be found in the Old and New Testaments, and how do scholars attempt to reconcile some of these discrepancies? Why would God even allow the Bible to include mistakes? Do most Christians really have a high view of Scripture? And just how important was precise accuracy to ancient writers? All this and more will be discussed in the conclusion of this controversial (and important) talk surrounding the trustworthiness of the Bible.To view the entire VIDEO PODCAST, be sure to join our CrossExamined private community (https://community.crossexamined.org/).
