throughout the history of the christian church, it has been generally held that the bible – both the old testament and the new testament – were divinely inspired. the principle of accommodation allows for both the ability of the bible to communicate objective spiritual truths about the nature of god, as well as the ability of the human authors to act as god's means by which this is to be communicated to humanity. while it is true that the authors themselves were limited and prone to mistakes, accommodation allows for the perfect and truthful god to work in and through his human agents in order to reveal information about himself that is sufficient and complete.
