Found a new bible/religion blog via James McGrath. The blogger, David, nails the trouble with arguments for biblical inerrancy here:
If you would know what sort of book God has actually given you, you cannot deduce it a priori from some preconceived account of his attributes. You must come and see.
You cannot predict at the outset what genres will or will not be in the Bible. You must come and see what is actually there. You cannot say a priori whether all of its narratives will be “historical”. You must come and see whether they are. You cannot decide beforehand whether the books had one or many “authors,” whether they depended upon and edited sources, whether they took artistic license with the stories at their disposal, or whether the books were written by this or that person in this or that place and time. You must come and see where the evidence leads. You cannot take a “deductive approach” to the Bible. You must come and see, lest you presumptuously allow your finite, fallible reason, to dictate to the God of the universe what he can and cannot do with his Word.
