Ideal for college students and those working within a Catholic framework, Free From All Error explains, from the perspective of Church teaching, such things as the historical accounts in the various books of the Bible, the multiple applications (or senses) of various texts, parables, the literal sense of Scripture, and the parameters under which Catholic Scripture scholars should operate.
This book is an excellent defence of the inerrancy of scripture from a Catholic perspective. There seem to be very few books that are scholarly, faithful to the teaching magisterium, and popular, but this book delivers on all three accounts. Father Most is a world class biblical scholar, and he is able to deal with questions about the historical critical method, form criticism, and archeology among other issues. Fr Most puts the historical critical method in proper perspective, showing that there are good uses for it but that it is used improperly and hence we have all this confusion today. The chapters are very short and readable.
