I have enjoyed every lecture so far and found new knowledge in each one. I think this lecture on Scholasticism might be confusing to people who have not been previously introduced to it. The explanation of Scholasticism that I have come across and find it the easiest to digest is that it is an exercises to take a passage from Aristotle and then a passage from the Bible and then use logical reasoning to explain that the two as saying the same thing. I understand it to be a reconciliation between Aristotle and the Bible but with now allowance for conflict. If necessary the logic would be "forced" to yield the desired results. Hence the reason by belief and faith must proceed logic in scholasticism.

Please correct me if my understanding is false.

What evidence do we have for the inerrancy of scripture? And by inerrancy, I don't mean largely reliable. I already see scripture as largely reliable, in terms of its transmission throughout the centuries.

I'm genuinely curious as I find inerrancy as difficult to believe.

I'm confused is scholasticism good or bad? And which organizations supports this way of thinking.
