The Inspiration and Canon of Scripture
1. Why is it important to have a proper understanding of the Doctrines of Inspiration and Inerrancy?
2. At one time it was thought that the Doctrines of Inspiration and Inerrancy were identical. Discuss this.
3. Give your views on the claims that the Doctrine of Inspiration leads to a too mechanistic view of the Scriptures.
4. Each of the Gospels show the personality of its author. Additionally, they differ in details. Explain how this can be true if they are truly inspired by God alone.

6. "Authority comes not from below but from above" - develop this in terms of the Canons of Scripture.
7. Argue the equal validity of the Canonicity for both Old and New Testaments.
8. Debate the place of the Apocrypha for the Conservative Evangelical Christian.
