Chicago Statements on Biblical Inerrancy, Hermeneutics and Application

Though I'm not supporting this view on Scriptures, I think it would be good to have the text of the Chicago Statements on Biblical Inerrancy, Biblical Hermeneutics and Biblical Applicaton in Logos 4. There are so many (first and foremost American) theological approaches out there referring to them that it could be very helpful to have immediate access to them in Logos.

Yes, perhaps this and other such statements could be collected together into one resource. There are tons of them, but here are a few I might suggest:

The Barmen Declaration

The Lausanne Covenant

Evangelicals and Catholics Together

It's already in Logos. I did a search on a phrase in one of the Chicago's articles and found 4 books containing the shorter version of the Chicago statement. Search this phrase in all your library "deny that Church creeds" . The four book that I found the statement in was

1. A General Introduction to the Bible Revised and Expanded by Norman Geisler and William E. Nix

2. God, Revelation and Authority by Carl Henry

3. Journal of the Evangelical Society Vol. 21, No. 3, Pg 280

4. Systematic Theology Volume 1 by Norman Geisler

The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy is also in Grudem's Systematic Theology.

I already assumed they were in some other books as well. However, I'd find it more convenient to have such statements and confessions of faith in single volumes or a miscellany. I don't want to spend money on much more expensive resources (the Chicago statements might be even free of charge or at least purchasable at a very low charge) when I'm only interested in these specific texts. What's more: they would be arranged more clearly and thus better for searching and overview.

It is terrible to suggest something you yourself are not prepared to do... but I'll do it anyway...

An alternative to this is to prepare a "Reading List" or "Reading Guide" (I don't remember how's called in the English version since I'm now using the Spanish Homepage as default) that gets posted into the Logos Home Page...

Just a thought...

I agree that would be nice. Historic Creed and Confessions is a resource in that vein. I think it should be expanded, or perhaps a second volume of modern statements and confessions.

In view of the Chicago Statement, though, A General Introduction to the Bible is in every base package except the Original Languages Library. Here's a link to it that takes you directly to the Chicago Statement:

I suggested a whole 500-page book full of Ecumenical statements some days ago, plus whatever follow-up volume[s ] there are. Please vote for them at http://community.logos.com/forums/p/29548/218658.aspx#218658.

Thanks for the link to the Barmen Declaration, btw. I really should read that one.

Thanks for pointing this out - I actually didn't notice it was there until now! Now, that's better than nothing! Anyhow, I'd prefer a single volume, including the Statements on Biblical Hermeneutics and Application as well, something like the "Historic Creeds and Confessions" you mentioned, maybe along with the official commentary by R.C. Sproul and other modern statements and confessions.

Another way to do this is to create a category in Favorites called "Creeds, Confessions and Statements" and put a reference to such things there.

Thanks, Todd! *smile*

Actually, that doesn't cover the "whole" of the Chicago Statement. For example, here is the whole statement, including preface and ending:

Also, The Chicago Statement is short enough to copy and put in a "General" note which, of course, is seachable. (Just a few pages long!)

Peace to all! And! Joy in the Lord!

Until the day L4 PBB comes alive, and then I'll make my own Chicago Statement Resource!

I have many of them in PBB's for L3 which is a reason for frustration at the slowness of obtaining the final promised elements of Logos 4. [While items not promised that don't matter to ME have been being done - I belong to that large class of Logos users who think their personal priorities should be Logos' priority without regard to anyone else[6] ... I'm just kidding folks; I do understand most of the priorities even though there aren't mine.]

Of course, I also want Pelikans' multivolume work on creeds - much better than Schaff's in my opinion.

Done. Thanks Richard for a great idea.

Brilliant. Of course! And since most of these are available in their entirety, free, on the Internet, it would be easy enough to create one's own Note file of Creeds and Ecumenical Statements, or something to that effect, and add to it any that you want. Navigation and searching wouldn't be quite as nice as if they were in a real resource (can't do a Ctrl+F to find specific location of a word/phrase within a Note file, for example), but I guess we'll have to wait for PBB to do that.

Thanks for the idea - I have placed all three documents produced by this committee into a single note file - three different notes:
