Bible Review, published by the Biblical Archaeology Society, is a bimonthly journal that serious students of the inerrancy doctrine should find useful. Each issue has 50 pages of scholarly articles on various biblical subjects. It does not openly challenge the inerrancy doctrine, but readers of The Skeptical Review could take much of the information they will learn by regularly reading Bible Review and easily apply it to the doctrine.
