Several terms are used to describe the nature of this inspiration. The doctrine of inerrancy does not confine itself to moral and religious truth alone.
Inerrancy extends to statements of fact, whether scientific, historical, or geographical.
The biblical writers were preserved from the errors that appear in all other books. The original Hebrew and Greek autograph copies of the Bible were inerrant. Certainly the copies of copies which have come down to us contain errors common to the craft of the copyist as do all English versions. However, with diligent study, we can ascertain the original words of the inspired writers. Inerrancy is fundamental to the doctrine of biblical authority.
