Line 257:
But the majority view among today's Catholic theologians and Scripture scholars is that ''Dei Verbum'' has indeed replaced total inerrancy with inerrancy limited to matters of salvation.
For instance, [[Raymond E. Brown]],
<blockquote>In the last hundred years we have moved from an understanding wherein inspiration guaranteed that the Bible was totally inerrant to an understanding wherein inerrancy is limited to the Bible's teaching of "that truth which God wanted put into the sacred writings for the sake of our salvation." In this long journey of thought the concept of inerrancy was not rejected but was seriously modified to fit the evidence of biblical criticism which showed that the Bible was not inerrant in questions of science, of history, and even of time-conditioned religious beliefs.</blockquote>
Line 279:
<blockquote>15. [...] even though all parts of Sacred Scripture are inspired, inerrancy applies only to ‘that truth which God wanted put into sacred writings for the sake of salvation’ (DV 11).</blockquote>
Though ''Dei verbum'' does not state unequivocally that inerrancy on all matters in the Bible has been replaced by inerrancy limited to matters of salvation, it is now the dominant view in the Catholic Church today.
