Most of his works were scholarly, but he also penned several mainstream works on the Bible that were quite popular. He viewed the Bible as inerrant and that Christianity required the Bible to be absolutely accurate. To Bruce this did not mean that the Bible was precise, and this lack of precision could lead to considerable confusion. However he believed that the passages that were still open to debate were ones that had no substantial bearing on Christian theology and thinking.
