Chris Tilling has been writing a good series on the concept of biblical inerrancy:

i have to agree with much of what Chris has said. Personally, i don’t find claiming inerrancy to be beneficial to a Christian–both in the Christian’s personal relation to Christ and the Christian’s social relations to Christians and non-Christians. It makes the focus of a Christian’s faith the subject of the Bible (the written words) and not Christ (the Word of God).

Thanks for pointing this out, parts of it were really interesting. I cannot accept the common evangelical idea of inerrancy either. I may blog something about it eventually.
BTW, some of these verification codes are really tough to figure out.
