The Debate on Inerrancy and Historical Critical Method

This chapter explores the rejection of inerrancy in the document 'de fontibus' and the subsequent debate on incorporating the historical critical method while maintaining biblical inerrancy. It discusses the proposal to apply the historical critical method only to matters of salvation and addresses concerns about its potential misuse. The chapter also highlights the compromise statement in Dei Verbum and explores the presence of doublets in the Old Testament as evidence of historical accuracy.
