Inspiration without inerrancy is an empty term. Inerrancy without inspiration is unthinkable. The two are inseparably related. They may be distinguished but not separated. So it is with hermeneutics. We can easily distinguish between the inspiration and interpretation of the Bible, but we cannot separate them. Anyone can confess a high view of the nature of Scripture but the ultimate test of one’s view of Scripture is found in his method of interpreting it. A person’s hermeneutic reveals his view of Scripture more clearly than does an exposition of his view. — RC Sproul, Inerrancy and Common Sense, edited by Roger R. Nicole & J. Ramsey Michaels, article titled, Biblical Interpretation And The Analogy of Faith, pg 134.
