OT scholar Peter Enns is one of the contributing authors of the recently published book Five Views on Biblical Inerrancy. Last November, he was part of a panel discussing the book at an Evangelical Theological Society meeting. He's just posted the comments he made at the panel at his blog.

This is why “holding on to inerrancy” (as it is often put) seems to be such a high-maintenance activity, requiring vigilant and constant tending.
