What is this called?
Consider this exchange:
- How do you know the Bible is correct?
- Because it's the inspired word of God.
Possible follow-up questions are:
- How do you know it's the inspired word of God?
- Why is something inspired by God necessarily correct?
According to my understanding, response 1 is illustrating "begging the question". So what is response 2 illustrating? - dcljr 12:33, 5 April 2007 (CDT)
Latin name
Petitio principii is a redirect to Begging the question.

Did this one fall through the cracks or something? --13:35, 5 April 2007 (CDT)
