This episode unpacks how we got the Bible: multiple authors over centuries, manuscript copying that spread across regions, what archaeology (like the Isaiah scrolls) contributes, and why translation differences exist without changing the message. You’ll also hear why Christianity centers on an event, not just a book, and how that shaped the earliest movement.
Passages referenced include Luke 1:1–4, Isaiah 52–53, and John 3:16, with notes on John 5:4 and John 7:53–8:11. Listen in, think critically, and consider reading the New Testament a few minutes a day this year.
