What makes the Bible unique and what sets it apart from all other religious works?

We look at General and Special Revelation - the "what" of what God has revealed.

We look at how God gave us his word though the moving along of holy men of God as they were borne along by the Holy Spirit.

We begin to look at Biblical Manuscripts as well as the writing materials used by the authors of Scripture to record God's word.

We begin a look at the manuscript evidence for the Bible.

We cover two topics in this session, the manuscript evidence for the New Testament as well as the Old Testament Canon - how the Old Testament books were selected to be part of the Bible.

We look at the New Testament canon, how the New Testament books were examined and selected to be part of our Bible.

We look at the disciplines of Higher Criticism which concerns itself with questions of authorship, canonicity, date, and audience.

We look at the discipline of Textual Criticism in determining the original text of the Bible.
