Question: Parts of the Bible are divinely-inspired, but not all of the Bible is literally true, in historical or scientific understanding or even moral teaching -- and that truth from God can come from other sources besides the Bible too... (see post)

If "divinely inspired" means that the books, or parts of them, were directly or indirectly written by God, then I don't believe a single word of the Bible is "divinely inspired."

If "divinely inspired" means that the books of the Bible were written by flawed but searching people who were inspired by the belief in a certain kind of God, then I'd say the whole collection is "divinely inspired." 

I believe something in between these: they written by flawed but searching people in response to real encounters with God.
