There has long been interest in the subject of the internal consistency of the Bible. Christianity an Judaism respectively present the Bible and Tanakh as divinely inspired. The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy is supported by many Evangelical Christian denominations. A few mainstream Christian denominations do not accept Biblical inerrancy and infallibility, while others have no official statement to either regard or leave it up to the individual. Because of these divergent views, examination of scripture to determine internal consistency is an important part of ecumenical and apologetic discussions.
