BIBLE,
BELIEF IN

We cannot rely on the doctrine of Scripture until we are absolutely convinced that God is its author.

John Calvin

In 1987 of 10,000 American clergy who were asked whether they believed that the Scriptures are the inspired and inerrant Word of God in faith, history, and secular matters:

95% of Episcopalians,

87% of Methodists,

82% of Presbyterians,

77% of American Lutherans,

and 67% of American Baptists said “No.”
