The Bible's reliability stands on overwhelming evidence that most people never examine. Through textual criticism, we discover the New Testament has over 25,000 ancient manuscripts - far more than any other ancient work - with copies dating within 20-30 years of the originals. Scholars confirm the text is 99.5% pure, meaning we can trust what we're reading today matches what the original authors wrote. External sources like non-Christian historians and archaeological discoveries consistently support biblical accounts. Unlike other religious texts, the Bible was written by over 40 authors across 1,700 years yet maintains remarkable consistency. The evidence demands we take Scripture seriously and engage with it regularly.
