Though the Bible presents a personal and relational God, popular
modern worldviews portray an impersonal divine force in a purely
material world. Readers influenced by this competing worldview hold
assumptions about fundamental issues--like the nature of humanity,
evil, and the purpose of life--that present profound obstacles to
understanding the Bible.
In Inerrancy and Worldview, Dr. Vern Poythress offers the first
worldview-based defense of scriptural inerrancy, showing how
worldview differences create or aggravate most perceived
difficulties with the Bible. His positive case for biblical
inerrancy implicitly critiques the worldview of theologians like
Enns, Sparks, Allert, and McGowan. Poythress, who has researched
and published in a variety of fields-- including science,
linguistics, and sociology--deals skillfully with the challenges
presented in each of these disciplines. By directly addressing key
examples in each field, Poythress shows that many difficulties can
be resolved simply by exposing the influence of modern
materialism.
Inerrancy and Worldview's positive response to current attempts
to abandon or redefine inerrancy will enable Christians to respond
well to modern challenges by employing a worldview that allows the
Bible to speak on its own terms.
