Stanley Hauerwas, when asked in an interview (I think at “the Door”), “what do you mean when you say ‘the Bible is true.’”? Stanley replied, “I mean I would die for it.” He then reminded us that the word “witness” to the truth comes from the Greek root, martyrion, or martyr.
Maybe this is the best way to explain to people what we believe about whether the Bible is inerrant, true, or authoritative . When we say the Bible is true, we believe it sufficiently, live it so absolutely, that we’d be willing to die for it.
Daily.
