The Bible in Our Revolutionary Times

In light of Belgic Confession Article 7 we discuss the Bible's sufficiency, necessity, clarity and divine authority especially for these revolutionary times we are living in. 

Has the Bible Been Corrupted as Muslims Often Claim?

We look at the formation of the Biblical canon, and at the reliability of the New Testament canon, and why the popular Muslim claim that the Bible has been corrupted is utterly baseless and empty.
