Christians often say we should trust the Bible—but how do we know we can?

In this episode of Faith Footnotes, we talk with Professor Stephen Geiger about his new book, How the Bible Came to Be: Exploring Its Origins, Preservation, and Translations (the final volume in the Bible Discovery Series), and some of the biggest questions people have about the reliability of Scripture.

From ancient manuscripts and Bible translations to “lost gospels” and claims that the Bible has changed over time, this conversation explores how God preserved his Word throughout history—and why Christians today can still have confidence that the Bible is truly God’s Word.

Whether you’ve wrestled with these questions yourself or want to better answer them for others, this episode offers clear explanations, historical insight, and gospel-centered reassurance.
