It is clear that here the ‘Word’ of God is to be understood as Jesus, pre-existent and incarnate. According to John’s gospel, when God speaks salvation to humans, God speaks a person, not a text. Two of the greatest theologians of the twentieth century are helpful in finding a way through this maze. Firstly Karl Barth, and secondly ...
It is important to bear in mind that belief in inerrancy is in keeping with the character of God. If God is true and He is ( Rom. 3:4 ), and if God breathed out the Scripture, then the Scripture, being the product of God, must also be true. This is why the Psalmist affirms, “All your words are true” ( Ps. 119:160 a).

Inerrancy, positively defined, refers to a central and crucial property of the Bible, namely, its utter truthfulness. The basis for the doctrine of biblical inerrancy is located both in the nature of God and in the Bible’s teaching about itself.
