Can you trust your Bible?
These are days in which the Bible is under serious assault by the media, by Hollywood, by left-leaning theologians, and even by the typical guy in the street. If you follow current popular reports you know that you there are those who claim that the Bible is full of errors, there are books that were maliciously excluded from the Bible by the early church, that the Bible as we have it is the result of a Catholic conspiracy, that the Jesus of the Bible never existed, and so forth.
In light of so many challenges, it is important for faith that we learn how the Scriptures came to be, how to describe their divine origins, and what criteria were used to determine which books were included in the Bible.
Join us on August 16 for a one-day seminar designed to answer these questions and leave you confident and encouraged.
Dr. Tom Alexander is professor of Bible at Harding University and a brilliant New Testament Scholar. His Ph.D. is from Emory University. You'll like him, and you'll appreciate what he has to say.
