Inerrancy / Infallibility of Scripture
Scripture without error in all it affirms — but how far does that reach?
Inerrancy is the teaching that Scripture is without error in what it affirms. Augustine spoke of the trustworthiness of the biblical text, and the theme was developed in later Protestant scholasticism and the modern Chicago Statement. Traditions differ in scope and definition: a strong, detailed inerrancy is emphasized especially in conservative Protestantism, while other communions frame Scripture's reliability and freedom from error in varying ways.
