Didactic Plenary Inspiration

2 Timothy 3:16-17 (New International Version)
16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Didactic plenary inspiration (DPI) interpretation is a way of interpreting the bible by considering what the scriptures intend to teach is inerrant, but each individual word is not necessarily chosen by God. Matthew Flannagan compares this with the stricter approach of verbal plenary inspiration (VPI) interpretation in his post on inerrancy.
