Description

How can we know if the Bible is true? 

In part 02 of our series on Biblical authority and interpretation, we dive into why we believe the Bible is true and authoritative. We discuss the historical, archaeological, and scientific evidence, and how that has shaped our thinking. Despite being written over centuries by more than 40 authors in multiple languages, the Bible presents remarkable consistency that holds up under scrutiny. Ultimately, the overwhelming evidence—from eyewitness accounts to historical records—gives us confidence that the Bible isn’t just a fairytale, but a reliable, divinely-inspired text.
