For hundreds of years, scholars refused to believe that Matthew, Luke, Paul, and Peter could have written the books of the Bible that bear their names. Instead, it was widely believed that men from the late second and third centuries wrote the documents and put the apostles' names on them for credibility. The discovery of a famous fragment from John's Gospel in 1920 changed all that forever. Read how the New Testament came together and discover that all of the New Testament was written before the end of the first century and much of it was written decades before then.

The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947 was a major find for Old Testament studies. In the 60+ years since, scholars continue to learn more of these ancient books and our faith in its accuracy and reliability only continues to grow. Read about how the Old Testament was handed down and later written down and the ancient manuscripts that we have today that prove once again that we can trust the Word of God.

The Bible has long been under attack from those who would love to see its influence disappear. The attacks seem to be growing stronger and the attackers are even bolder. Hollywood, liberal scholars, Muslims, scientists, atheists, and even Christian fundamentalists all charge that the modern Bibles used by most of evangelicalism have been corrupted over time and are not worthy to be read, studied, and followed. Christians claim to know a lot of Bible (and that is debatable) but many do not know much ABOUT their Bible.
