It was written by men, but the author is God. It uses the words of men, but it is the Word of God. The penmen were finite, but they communicated the infinate wisdom of God. It was written within time, but the perspective is eternal and the outlook is for all times. The Bible is the inerrant Word of God, which is to say that it is trustworthy, free from error as a whole and in all its parts.
Biblical statements are absolutely true, regardless of the subject they deal with.
Weather it has to with history, science, or prophecy. In respect to natural science, the Bible is not in error. A number of noted scholars have written books, magazines and have even produced films to show the harmony between natural science and the Bible. With respect to history, such monumental finds as the Dead Sea Scrolls and the ancient walls of Jericho have hearlded the triumph of God's Word. When it comes to prophecy, many prophecies in the Bible were given long before their fullfillment.
