Protestant Carl F. H. Henry (1913-2003) on Oral Tradition, not Inscripturated Revelation Merely, being Inspired

  

In its original form the prophetic and apostolic witness, oral and written, had the special quality of inerrancy. Inerrancy pertains only to the oral or written proclamation of the originally inspired prophets and apostles. Not only was their communication of the Word of God efficacious in teaching the truth of revelation, but their transmission of that Word was error-free. (Carl F. H. Henry, God, Revelation, and Authority, 6 vols. [Wheaton, Ill.: Crossway Books, 1999], 2:14)
