Determining a book's truth.

Excellent question, attssyf. You are right to note that inerrantists make the remarkable claim of inerrancy on behalf of not just one ancient text, but at least 66 texts.I will be interested in hearing how the literalists imagine the process. If you live in an age before any text has been approved, and you never met Yeshua of Nazareth yourself, how would you decide? Plenty of people were in this position once. They did not all come to the same conclusions.My experience is that today's inerrantists will insist 'for a fact' that the Bhagavad Gita is not a divinely inspired text, though they likely have never read it, and will insist that Nahum is, though they likely haven't read that one, either.Good idea for a thread.
