“Commenting on the Lausanne Covenant phrase ‘without error in all that it affirms’, Stott writes: ‘Not everything included in scripture is true, because not everything recorded in scripture is affirmed by scripture.’ It would be naive, he argues, to declare that ‘every word in the Bible is true’. Consider, for example, the Book of Job. Of the speeches recorded there God says, ‘You have not spoken of me what is right’ (42:7). So in declaring that the scripture is ‘without error in all that it affirms’, we are committed to ‘the responsible work of biblical interpretation, so that we may discern the intention of each author and grasp what is being affirmed’.”
