CSC: WELS Topical Q&A: Bible: Inspiration/Inerrancy: Luther on inerrancy
Most Recently Posted Ask a Question
Q:Did Luther teach inerrancy? If so where can I find a quote by him on the teaching?
A:In "The Misuse of the Mass" (LW 36:137), Luther wrote: "The saints could err in their writings and sin in their lives, but THE SCRIPTURES CANNOT ERR. . . ."

In "Defense and Explanation of All the Articles" (LW 32:11), he wrote: "...I am ready to trust them [the teachers of the church] only when they give me evidence for their opinions from SCRIPTURE, WHICH HAS NEVER ERRED."

In a sermon on John 6 (LW 23:95), he said: "It is not man's word, which could lie and BE WRONG; it is the Word of God, who is the eternal truth."
