Biblical infallibilityBiblical infallibility is the belief that what the Bible says regarding matters of faith and Christian practice is wholly useful and true. It is the "belief that the Bible is completely trustworthy as a guide to salvation and the life of faith and will not fail to accomplish its purpose." Historically, Jewish and Christian interpreters of the Bible have seen it as reliable and trustworthy, but such views do not imply in equating veracity to historicity, scientificity or even facticity.
Liberal ChristianityLiberal Christianity, also known as Liberal Theology and historically as Christian Modernism (see Catholic modernism and Fundamentalist–Modernist controversy), is a movement that interprets Christian teaching by taking into consideration modern knowledge, science and ethics. It emphasizes the importance of reason and experience over doctrinal authority. Liberal Christians view their theology as an alternative to both atheistic rationalism and theologies based on traditional interpretations of external authority, such as the Bible or sacred tradition.
Biblical literalismBiblical literalism or biblicism is a term used differently by different authors concerning biblical interpretation. It can equate to the dictionary definition of literalism: "adherence to the exact letter or the literal sense", where literal means "in accordance with, involving, or being the primary or strict meaning of the word or words; not figurative or metaphorical".
Inerrance bibliquevignette|Rembrandt, L'Évangéliste Matthieu inspiré par un ange, 1661. En théologie chrétienne et juive, l’inerrance biblique (ou simplement inerrance) est une position doctrinale selon laquelle la Bible ne comporte aucune erreur dans ses manuscrits d'origine, tant en ce qui concerne la foi et la vie du croyant qu'au sujet de l'authenticité du texte et des détails relatifs aux thèmes scientifiques, historiques et géographiques. Cela implique que les auteurs bibliques auraient suivi la volonté de Dieu, et que celui-ci leur aurait évité toute erreur dans l'évocation des faits.
