This is the place to start to get caught up on the inspiration and inerrancy discussion that has taken place on The Naked Bible. If you posted a comment or complaint about something in the Naked Bible’s position, and I said “do the reading and get caught up,” this is what I’m talking about. To really follow the discussion, you need to read the items below IN ORDER — including the PDF readings. If you aren’t willing to invest the time to catch up, I won’t invest the time to reply.
