Some Christians hold a literalistic or inerrant view of the Bible. [[Biblical inerrancy]] is the view that the Bible, as the inspired Word of God, is without error and is accurate in all aspects, including in aspects of history and science. [[Biblical infallibility]] on the other hand is the view that the Bible is free from errors on issues of faith and practice, but minor contradictions in history or science can be overlooked as insignificant to its spiritual purpoes.
Protestant Christians generally hold to [[Sola Scriptura]] which is the teaching that the Bible is the final authority on matters of faith and that it alone gives sufficient information for all matters of faith. This stands in contrast to Orthodox and Catholic Christianity which accept tradition as playing an equally important role in matters of faith.
