The introduction: reviewing the past -- Reactions of the critics: a response to their questions -- The smaller groups: the updated story -- The Southern Baptist Convention: moving toward a crisis -- Fuller Theological Seminary: a seminary at bay -- The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod: a battle fought and won -- The Historical-Critical Method: the Bible's deadly enemy -- What or who is an Evangelical?: an unresolved dilemma -- Prospects for the future: bleak or bright?
Summary: In Lindsell's book 'Battle for the Bible', he argued that the denial of Biblical inerrancy, like a virus, had infected evangelical seminaries which previously had stood for this doctrine. He named names and institutions. In 'The Bible in the Balance' we get to read, in their own words, the often quite energetic and indignant responses of his critics. In response, Lindsell argues that inerrancy is in fact the position of the historic church, and indeed was the position of Jesus himself. Lindsell examines the broad sweep of church history and identifies several watershed periods. Inerrancy is the watershed issue of our time, and though it can be discouraging to see both opposition and sheer indifference to this doctrine, nevertheless we have reason to be positive, for the fight is not ultimately ours. “God is sovereign,” Lindsell reminds us.--GoodReads.com
