Biblical **inerrancy** is such a hot topic of debate these days that there is at least one website directly devoted to defending it ([DefendingInerrancy.com](http://defendinginerrancy.com/)) , and of course many multiple Christian Apologetics and Biblical Authority organizations (notably ones like [CARM](https://carm.org/) and [Answers In Genesis](https://answersingenesis.org/)) .
**Is there a resource showing a significant number of *contemporary* (e.g. focusing within the last 100-200 years to present day) Bible Scholars who support evangelical inerrancy of the Bible?**
I would think *infallibility* comes naturally with inerrancy, but perhaps not for everyone. Any comments on this would be welcome, too. The same may go for Verbal Plenary Inspiration (see related Q&A list, below).
Here are a few notable scholars I found who (*AFAIK*) fit the bill (mostly resulting from brief online searches):
- Dr. Terry Mortenson
- Dr. Gleason Archer
- Dr. Norman Geisler
- Dr. John Gerstner
Here are a few possibly helpful/related StackExchange resources:
