I was reading a book called Crazy Talk by Rold A. Jacobson. It is a funny book on theological terms.
Here is the entrance on Inerrancy
“The idea that something other than God is perfect- as only God is. If you’ve ever played cards, you may be familiar with trump-not Donald, but hearts, spades, diamonds, clubs. In Theology the ultimate trump is the idea of inerrancy-the claim that something is without error. Different people try to play the trump by claiming the papal office, the Bible, or the Qur’an etc., is without error. But life ain’t cards. And only God is perfect. Besides, even if, say, the Bible is innerant, imperfect humans are still the ones understanding and applying it to life. Life is a no trump-game.”
To this I say Amen.
Blessings.

Ah… that is a breath of fresh air. This makes me want to read Theology again.
