Upholding Sola Scriptura Today: Some Unturned Stones in Herman Bavinck’s Doctrine of Inspiration

Abstract

This article revisits the disagreement between Rogers and McKim and Richard Gaffin over whether or not Herman Bavinck upheld the concept of biblical inerrancy. A sketch of Bavinck’s doctrine of inspiration of Scripture that engages with the terms of their debate is presented in order to highlight ways in which a more nuanced reading of Bavinck holds constructive potential for the maintenance of Scripture as the final authority in all matters of faith and practice.
