What are we to think about inerrancy?

I'm trying to get my head around the doctrine of inerrancy, and so I've just picked up a book by G.K Beale, called "the erosion of inerrancy in evangelicalism." (Amazing how you can read things other than what you are supposed to read at college!)

I've read a chapter so far, and it seems to a fair treatment and interaction with one evangelical scholar's attempts to view the Old testament as not inerrant, and not actually history (parts of it anyway).

These kinds of comments make me nervous. At the moment I think I'm an inerrantist in my view of th doctrine of scripture. And I'm trying to come to terms with those in evangelical circles who are not. I desire to love my brothers and sisters in Christ in this regard, but also come to some conclusion on the issue.

I guess the big thing for me in this regard is that God is a God of truth and doesn't lie (Titus 1:2), so what am I to think?

trying to struggle with th issue...
