Question for those more knowledgeable about this subject: isn't biblical inerrancy a relatively modern phenomenon in (Protestant) Christianity? Like, late 1800s/early 1900s? Or am I confusing it with American fundamentalism?
perhaps because of the rise of the scientific method and positivism, thus the rise of the concept of 'falsifiability', thus the all-but falsification of the Genesis creation myth, Noah's Ark, etc. prior to this the distinction between mythology and 'real history' did not exist as we conceive of it.
