[Church_of_Christ] Re: Creeds
Dear Ray,
The following is reproduced from the editor of Baptist Standard:
"First, the vast range of theological meanings of "inerrancy" was put on display at the Conferences on Biblical Inerrancy, sponsored by the SBC in 1987 and 1988. These conferences featured a pantheon of conservative theologians of impeccable credentials. Thoughtful participants at the conferences soon realized there are as many definitions of "inerrancy" as there are inerrantists. These world-class Bible scholars each described a variant definition of the term. These Christians of goodwill expressed little difficulty in affirming each others' attempts at definition. But fundamentalists on SBC seminary boards, looking for a measure by which to try professors, sought a single, rigid definition. The good biblicists of other denominations seemed perplexed by it all.
___Second, the SBC rendered the inerrancy debate moot last year. A panel of the SBC's fundamentalist elite drafted a new version of the Baptist Faith & Message. . . . ."
