In this second episode of a two-part series, (
for part 1 click here) we explore
The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, a concise and influential 1,700‑word confession that articulates the historic Christian understanding of Scripture as God’s authoritative and trustworthy revelation.
Within Wesleyan circles, many have never encountered this document directly. After noticing this gap, and the blank stares I often get when referencing it, I decided it was time to devote two episodes to simply reading the statement and offering accessible commentary.
To guide the conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Matt O’Reilly, who has appeared on the podcast multiple times over the last five years. Together, we walk through the text, highlight its insights, and consider why Wesleyans should be familiar with this important articulation of inerrancy.
In this episode:
- Why the Chicago Statement remains influential
- How it reflects the classical Christian approach to Scripture
- Why Wesleyans benefit from engaging it
- Guided reading + theological commentary
- How inerrancy fits within a broader doctrine of revelation
