Subject: can we be sure the Bible is valid? |
Bible Note: Joe, your concerns seem valid enough and your questions fair. The subject is, of course, enormous in scope -- much too big to try to wrestle with within the confines of these Forum posts. So let me recommend a book to you. It's called "The New Evidence That Demands a Verdict." Written by Josh McDowell and published by Thomas Nelson, it's readily available in hardcover at on-line stores such as Amazon.com or CBD.com for under 20 dollars, or at local Christian bookstores. To aid you in search and positive identification, the ISBN No. is 0785242198. The book will go a long way toward answering most if not all of your questions. --Hank |
