Study Shows Truth and Reliability of the Bible
Recent studies show that almost half of Americans question the Bible’s reliability. Since the Bible was compiled, translated, and copied over thousands of years, many wonder: How accurate is the Bible and how do we know we can trust it?
These questions and more are answered in the new 6-session DVD-based study, How We Got the Bible (Rose Publishing) hosted by expert Dr. Timothy Paul Jones.
With wit and a touch of humor, Jones provides an overview of how the Bible was put together from start to finish, from clay to paper, from Aramaic to English. Easily understand what it means when the Bible is called “inspired,” “infallible,” and “inerrant.” Find value in solid archaeological evidence and linguistic findings. Jones not only covers the accuracy of translation and duplication methods, but he also expertly weaves a colorful and informative patchwork of the history of events and people that God chose to get the Bible to what it is today.
“Dr. Timothy Paul Jones has created a helpful and easy-to-follow book and DVD series showing that the Bible can be trusted. How We Got the Bible is helpful for skeptics who are unsure about the reliability of the Bible, but also for believers who want to go deeper in their faith.” — Sean McDowell, PhD, Assistant Professor at Biola University, author of Is God Just a Human Invention?
Jones tackles the 6 main elements of biblical proofing:
• Session 1: What’s So Special About the Bible
• Session 2: How We Got the Old Testament
• Session 3: How We Got the New Testament
• Session 4: How the Books of the New Testament Were Chosen
• Session 5: How the New Testament Was Copied
• Session 6: How We Got the Bible in English
“As Christians, we have a responsibility to ‘stand firm and hold to the traditions you were taught’ (2 Thess. 2:15).
