In the '70s and '80s, the debate in theological circles centered on the issue of whether or not the Bible was infallible or both infallible and inerrant.
During these decades schools like Princeton Theological Seminary and Fuller Theological Seminary, were formally adopting the doctrine of infallibility while rejecting the doctrine of inerrancy.
In 1979 when Harold Lindsell a professor at Fuller Theological Seminary published a book entitled, The Battle for the Bible the issue exploded. He asserted that losing the doctrine of the inerrancy of Scriptures was the thread that would unravel the church. Conservatives rallied behind this idea, agreeing that once a man disregards the ultimate truthfulness of the Bible, then anything can become justifiable.
