Bird","description":"Last week, the country commemorated the one-year anniversary of the January 6th attack on the Capitol. Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn examine what\u2019s changed, and what hasn\u2019t, since the attack and what impact it\u2019s had on both Christians and our culture. They also respond to Samuel Perry\u2019s article about the way Christian Nationalism threatens democracy. Then, Skye talks to Australian theologian Michael Bird about the doctrine of biblical inerrancy. While Christians throughout the world affirm the Bible\u2019s inerrancy, Bird says American Evangelicals uniquely see the doctrine as \u201cthe one ring to rule them all.\u201d He documents many cases where inerrancy isn\u2019t used to defend the Bible, but a particular interpretation of the Bible.
