The Bible
The Bible is a book about the One True God. More than that, it is a collection of books that develop from the Old Testament (the basis for the Jewish religion) to the New Testament (the basis for Christianity). There is no one author of the Bible, except to say that there were many human authors who were all inspired by God in the writing of the Bible.
Evidence for the inspiration of God is plentiful:
- Despite many authors, the Bible is astonishingly consistent. It mixes cultures, languages, and authors to create a book that is a revelation of God that is clearly different than other authoritative religious books.
- There are literally hundreds of prophesies within the Bible that have been fulfilled, testifying to the divine nature of the Bible.
- The gospel narrative comes together in a fashion that so strongly supports its’ authenticity that if fully understood, creates a strong evidential foundation for Jesus of Nazareth as the Christ.
When you look at the Bible in an evaluation of how it was written, how it came together, and how it works together as ‘one’ book despite being written by many authors, you begin to get the picture of how unique it actually is. Beyond this entry level view, as you read and study the Bible, you become engrossed in what is understood not as the mere writings of men, but as the very Word of God. The purpose of this page is to provide a portal to the Bible. In time, it will include commentaries and articles about the Bible. For now, I am including a couple of key links for your use:
- Bible Gateway: An online Bible the includes multiple versions and easy to link to.
- Zhubert.com: An online Greek lexicon that allows you to get to the original meaning of each word of the Greek New Testament.
