The Chicago Conference on Biblical Inerrancy

The Chicago Conference on Biblical Inerrancy, held in 1978, was a gathering of theologians and Christian scholars to affirm that the Bible is without error in its original manuscripts. They aimed to clarify the nature of biblical authority, emphasizing that Scripture is reliable and truthful in all that it affirms—historically, morally, and doctrinally—while allowing for the use of various literary genres. The conference sought to address debates over biblical accuracy and ensure that Scripture remains central and trustworthy in Christian faith and practice.
