Evidence for the Bible

Christians rely on the Bible for information on both their most basic understanding of reality and in determining right and wrong in their decision-making. But can you rely on the Bible?

Evidence for the Bible is the first volume in the Consider Christianity series, written by Elgin Hushbeck, Jr. It discusses the evidence for the inspiration and reliability of the Bible and deals with objections. It is clear and forceful but also invites dialogue on this key issue of the Christian faith.

Chapter titles are:

How Did We Get the Bible

The Bible and Modern Criticism

Archeology and the Bible

Science vs. Religion

Science and the Bible

Is the Bible Reliable

The Word of God or the Speculations of Men
