Episode description as stored
Is the Bible trustworthy? In this episode, we tackle one of the most important questions a Christian can ask — how did we get the Bible, and can we actually trust it?

We start with the famous story of the woman caught in adultery (John 7:53–8:11) and the asterisk in your Bible saying it's "not in the earliest manuscripts" — and use that as a jumping-off point to explore the full story of how Scripture was formed and preserved.
Topics covered:
What is the biblical canon — and who decided what's in it?
What is textual criticism, and why does the 1% manuscript variance actually STRENGTHEN our confidence?
The Apocrypha — why it's not in your Protestant Bible
How the New Testament was recognized (not chosen) by the early church
Why the apostles knew they were writing Scripture
Constantine, the Council of Nicaea, and what the Da Vinci Code gets wrong
25,000+ manuscripts — why the Bible has more historical evidence than any ancient document
The difference between inspiration and illumination
Why being a Bible-believing Christian isn't enough — you need to be Bible-loving
Whether you're a lifelong Christian, a skeptic, or a college student whose professor is throwing haymakers at Scripture, this episode will bolster and buttress your confidence in God's Word.
