Today's assaults are unique since current neo-evangelical Christian scholars in reputable Christian institutions are attempting attempt to redefine biblical inerrancy by claiming that the writers of scripture intentionally included legend, invented speeches, and embellishments in the Bible. This book answers this claim with an emphatic challenge. Drs. Bill Roach and Phil Fernandes also served as Associate Editors.
