In 1977 Christians theologians and pastors in America gathered together over the issue of what they thought to be the erosion of inerrancy within the Christian Church. They issued a statement in 1978 which was signed by 300 scholars. It consisted of 19 Statements of Affirmation and Denial in a creed-like fashion with a fuller statement issued in 1982. They can be read for example here.
Some have said that this is a North American issue: In 1977 also, the Nottingham Evangelical Anglican Congress, assured themselves that such a battle for the Bible in the Unites States would not arise in the UK (observed by Ranauld Macaulay in the forward to "The Great evangelical Disaster" see below). N T Wright, a British theologian cleary does not want to subsequently commit himself to the term but claims "I don't think I've ever said I an not an inerrantist". Nevertheless it is clear that it has become an issue with the western church generally and of course in the UK.
A full list of signatories to the Statement can be found here, but people who stand out the me personally include D A Carson, Wayne Grudem, R C Sproul, Norman Geisler, John M Frame, James Packer and Francis Schaeffer.
FRANCES SCHAEFFER- Warning
In 1984 in his last book " The Great Evangelical Disaster", Francis Schaeffer, written while in the throes of terminal cancer warned of the failure of the evangelical world. He wrote (p37) "Here is the great evangelical disaster... the failure...to stand for truth as truth. There is only one word for this- namely accommodation: the evangelical church has accommodated to the world spirit of the age. First there has been accommodation on Scripture, so that many...hold a weakened view of the Bible and no longer affirm the truth of all the Bible teaches...many evangelicals are now accepting the higher critical methods in the study of the Bible"
So do you think this is an issue in the church today?
This article, written by Leon Morris, is particularity relevant https://biblicalstudies.org.uk/pdf/churchman/081-01_022.pdf
. Here is the opening paragraph that identifies the issue
"MODERN biblical scholarship has proved itself so insipid and
unstimulating. We are confronted with the paradox of a way
of studying the word of God out of which no word of God ever seems to
come, with an imposing modem knowledge of the Bible which seems
quite incapable of saying anything biblical or thinking biblically." In
these words J. V. Langmead Casserley expresses concisely the basic
objection to the usual critical approach. This is not a criticism which
deals with peripheral matters. It goes to the heart of the matter.
For this critical approach not only does not yield us a word from God:
it cannot yield us a word from God. It rests on the presupposition
that the Christian must abandon his views of inspiration when he
interprets the Bible in order to make quite sure that his method is
historically and critically respectable. The critic insists on being so
"objective" that an unbeliever must respect his scholarship even if
he cannot agree with his conclusions"
