The Unity of Scripture // The unity of Scripture, despite its diversity of authors, testifies to its divine inspiration and strengthens our confidence in its reliability and authority as God’s Word.

Fulfilled Prophecy in Scripture // Scripture provides a straightforward way for God's people to discern true prophecy from false teaching.

The Historical Reliability of the Old Testament // Two key factors help to establish the Old Testament as an authoritative and historically reliable collection of books that bear the markings of divine revelation rather than being merely man-made: 1) its cultural uniqueness and 2) its archaeological support. 

The Historical Reliability of the New Testament // The historical reliability of the New Testament can be attested to through dating evidence and eyewitness testimony. 

Manuscript Evidence for the Bible // The Bible stands unparalleled in terms of manuscript evidence. Although textual variants exist within manuscripts, they are minor and insignificant for Christian doctrine. 

The Canon of Scripture // The canon of Scripture identifies the books included in the Bible and establishes them as the ultimate standard for Christian faith and life.

Divine Revelation // God has revealed His true nature through His Word. He wants us to pursue Him through His Word and He is confident that the Bible will convey truth and make you wise to salvation. 

Introduction // The most crucial question for Christians is "Why the Bible?" as everything in Christian faith hinges on this.

Review of Apologetics // The discipline of Christian apologetics equips believers to explain their faith and give a well-reasoned defense of the Gospel.

The Resurrection, Pt. 2 // The authenticity of the resurrection of Jesus rests on the evidence of the empty tomb, resurrection appearances, and the origin of the Christian faith.
