Summary
If you’ve ever wondered if the Bible is true – this program is for you. Chip puts the Bible on trial and lays out a case for the authenticity of scripture. He presents evidence that the Bible, as we have it today, IS reliable. And is the true, Word of God - just as meaningful to us, as it was to its first readers.
Main Points
Five plaguing questions about the Bible:- Is the Bible the word of men or the very words of God?
- Is the Bible full of myths, legends, and fairytales, or is it historically reliable?
- Is all of the Bible true and trustworthy or only portions of it?
- Can a Bible that has been translated so many times, for so many hundreds of years, really be accurate?
- What makes the Bible so different from all other religious writings and their claims to truth?
- ARCHEOLOGY – The Bible is a historically accurate document.
- REVELATION – The Bible claims to infallibly reveal the very words and mind of God.
- ORIGIN – The Bible is unique. Its origin, structure, and unity argue for a supernatural authorship.
- JESUS – believed the Old Testament to be the very Words of God and predicted the New Testament to be likewise.
- PROPHECY – sets the Bible apart from all other Religions.
- TRANSMISSION – The Bible’s purityand perseverance throughout the centuries is nothing short of miraculous.
- IMPACT – The Bible’s power to transform lives is overwhelming.
