In this week's episode, Jill and Zac discuss the (somewhat) controversial concept of biblical inerrancy (and infallibility). Highlights include some conversation about their own experiences with how their formative religious traditions understood inerrancy, some scholarly analysis why the term can be problematic, how their studies have impacted their view of the biblical texts, and suggestions on how to approach the idea of inerrancy in order to foster a healthier mode of reading.
