This guide has been compiled specifically to meet this need. This work addresses virtually every significant dilemma of the Bible; arranges them by topic; and delineates the problems within each. Besides its handy alphabetical organization of subject matter, "Biblical Errancy" has many other user-friendly features: it arranges the cited verses within a subject heading in the order in which they appear in the Bible, from "Genesis" to "Revelation"; it uses a system of marking verses with one, two, or three asterisks to indicate their importance to the topic under consideration; and it has many cross-references to related areas of interest. Although many books critique the Bible from a wide variety of perspectives, none have been structured in such a manner as to provide a virtually exhaustive body of critical information that can be retrieved on a moment's notice on nearly every biblical topic imaginable. The volume and scope of the material discussed is such that anyone having any interest whatsoever in Scriptures will find something of value in these pages.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Even better than McKinsey's earlier work, believe it or not,
By
This review is from: Biblical Errancy: A Reference Guide (Hardcover)
This reference guide is particularly useful for quick location of verses and concepts that arise in discussions or debates, although it provides satisfying reading all by itself. A simple rating system gives the reader the best verse(s) to use in addressing a particular topic. The section on Jesus has been enlarged and given special attention, particularly in the area of alleged OT prophecies of the coming of a Messiah . Want to know what extrabiblical sources, such as Josephus or Tacitus, had to say about Jesus or early Christianity? They are given critical scrutiny here. As McKinsey says in his introduction, "...if you are tired of having Bible-quoting friends, relatives, and acquaintances toss Scripture in your face and would like to have an avalanche of information to toss in theirs....

Biblical Errancy: A Reference Guide,
By David Wilcox (Walnut Creek, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Biblical Errancy: A Reference Guide (Hardcover)
C. Dennis McKinsey's work on this book is an amazing piece of scholarship. At over 800 pages it provides the most comprehensive catalog of Biblical contradictions, ambiguities and errors of fact I have ever seen. Although it can be read from beginning to end, it is primarily a reference work that documents the problems of using the Bible as a source to validate one's views.After reading this book, I shall never again justify any view I hold with the phrase, "because the Bible says so." To quote from the play Inherit the Wind,"It's a good book, but it's not the only book."

5.0 out of 5 stars
Different Outline Than Other Book,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Biblical Errancy: A Reference Guide (Hardcover)
I personally liked his first book better, it was written in a style where one could read it, this one is more for the researcher, so therefore I will still rate it five stars because of the different purpose in style. This book is for one who has the bible open and is reading both at the same time, to compare the items one by one.McKinsey's two books and "Losing Fatith in Faith" are the best books for debater to have read.
