Last December (2014), I had the privilege of participating in a podcast interview with [Darrell Bock](http://www.dts.edu/about/faculty/dbock/) and the [Dallas Theological Seminary](http://www.dts.edu/) program [*The Table*](http://www.dts.edu/thetable/). I was joined by my friend [Andreas Köstenberger](http://www.sebts.edu/academics/faculty/)(co-author of [*The Heresy of Orthodoxy*](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1433501430/ref=s9_simh_gw_p14_d0_i3?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=1E7CP9W9Y4BMCBZJ9ZAA&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=2079475242&pf_rd_i=desktop)).

The interview covered a wide range of topics related to inspiration and inerrancy, particularly last year’s popular blog series by [Peter Enns](http://www.patheos.com/blogs/peterenns/) entitled “Aha Moments.” That series highlighted evangelical scholars who have discovered things in their biblical research that have caused them to change their views about inerrancy.

In response, I offered a brief series on my own website entitled “Does the Bible Ever Get it Wrong? Facing Scripture’s Difficult Passages.” I invited a number of prominent evangelical scholars wrote brief posts to deal with some of the issues raised by Enns. While I was hoping to include a few more installments in that series, time has slipped away and a few folks were not able to get to their contribution as planned. Regardless, I include the final installments here:
