The Bible is heralded as a wonderful and sacred text by both Christians and non-Christians alike; but, is it reliable? Are the Scriptures really the word of God? What details do archeological pursuits unearth, and how do they shed light into the validity and reliability of Scripture? In this video series, Josh McDowell presents several key points as to how he came to believe that the Bible is true, and divinely inspired by God. He discusses the highly important contributions of archeology, the awe-inspiring discipline of Jewish scribes in their mission to transcribe the Bible, the influence of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the Biblical writers’ keen eye for detail that can not go without notice. Finally, Josh shares the impact all of these historical events have made on his life — and in the lives of many others.
