Doctrine of Inspiration Resources

Lately I’ve been reading a lot of books on the doctrine of inspiration. I’ve compiled a short bibliography of books related to the subject, though not all of them specifically set out to delineate the doctrine.

I’m not a theologian, so I’m not very familiar with all of these authors. While I don’t at all mean to pigeonhole them, I thought it might help if I arranged the bibliography loosely by what sort of camp the author associates himself with. Please offer any corrections you might have.

Full inerrancy:
Leslie Allen's commentary on Jonah in the NICOT series (Eerdmans)
Craig, William Lane. 'Men Moved By The Holy Spirit Spoke From God' (2 Peter 1.21): A Middle Knowledge Perspective on Biblical Inspiration”

Gordon Fee's Gospel and Spirit.
Lindsell. The Battle for the Bible.
Truth and Power, J. I. Packer
Francis Schaeffer, No Final Conflict: The Bible Without Error in All That It Affirms

B. B. Warfield. Authority and Inspiration.


Some sort of limited inerrancy or infallibility:
