Bible believer


Bible believer is a self-description by conservative Christians to differentiate their teachings from others who they see as placing non-biblical or extra-biblical tradition as higher or equal in authority to the Bible.
In normal usage, "Bible believer" means an individual or organization that believes the Protestant Bible is true in some significant way. However, this combination of words is given a unique meaning in fundamentalist Protestant circles, where it is equated with the belief that the Christian Bible "contains no theological contradictions, historical discrepancies, or other such 'errors'", otherwise known as biblical inerrancy.
According to , a bible believer is "one who believes that the copies of the Old Testament and New Testament, which he holds in his hands, and reads in his own language, are the words of God, entirely correct, and without any need of improvement. His job is not to correct the Bible; the Bible’s job is to correct him."
