really throughout our lives. You said the key word authoritative. When we think of the authority of Scripture, what are those key doctrines that we need to remember?

At Ligonier, we talk about the Reformation a lot, and one of the major issues during the Reformation was the question of the authority of Scripture. But has the authority of Scripture come under attack since then in other ways?

How do you respond to those who say that those Princetonian theologians that you just mentioned, that they invented the doctrine of inerrancy?

So the Princetonian theologians, that's the early 20th century, J. Gresham Machen, 1920s, 1930s. Right. What happened in the 1960s?

these doctrines. I would say it's just as important today when we think about the inspiration of Scripture and the authority of Scripture. I'm thinking about Ligonier's State of Theology Survey, where we take the theological temperature of the U.S. We have done it in the U.K. as well.
