How We Got the Bible, Paperback/Kyle Pope

The Bible is the most important book in history. It has influenced billions of people throughout the ages. Laws have been fashioned upon its teachings, nations have been established upon its principles, and human souls have rested upon its promises. Yet, how is it that this book came to us? How was it transmitted from the mind of God to the hands of man? What process led to the formation of this wonderful book that we have before us? In this study, we look at what is known about this process. We will look at both the Old and the New Testaments to consider what is understood about the formation of Scripture. We will look at the dramatic history of the Bible coming into English. Then, we will end our study with a consideration of how modern discoveries of biblical manuscripts have affected today's translations. Lord willing, our study will bolster faith and help to overcome doubts. It is my prayer that this study will strengthen the reader against the assaults of the enemy and grant to him a greater confidence in the Bible as the complete, inerrant, and wholly inspired word of God
