What is bibliology?
Bibliology is the doctrine of Scripture — what the Bible is, how it was given, its inspiration, authority, sufficiency, and clarity. It is the doctrine that underwrites every other doctrine, because all our knowledge of God depends on his Word.
Key affirmations: God-breathed (inspiration), without error in its claims (inerrancy), the supreme rule of faith and life (authority and sufficiency), and clear in its main message (perspicuity).
A high view of Scripture is not about rigidly defending a book; it is about reverently receiving God’s word.
The fight for bibliology is the fight for the gospel. Lose Scripture, and we have only opinions; keep it, and we have God’s voice.
