Introducing a unique series of books under the title All you need to know about the Bible. The six books will cover almost every question you may ask about the Bible and at a level that is both accessible for the ordinary reader and valuable for the Bible student. The whole series is fully referenced and indexed. It will prove an indispensable addition to the library of all who take the Bible seriously and teach it at any level, or who simply want to check out the many questions that are being asked today and be equipped to give an informed defence of the faith.
In the second book in this series, we examine how God reveals himself, and with particular reference to the ultimate truth that he has given in the revelation of Scripture. We focus on what is really meant by the words ‘inspiration’ and ‘inerrancy’ and why it is so important, and correct, to defend these claims from the text of the Bible itself: ‘All Scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work’ (2 Timothy 3:16-17). A careful definition of how the Scriptures came to us distinguishes a true belief in biblical authority from more vague or rigid ideas. A survey of the history of Biblical inerrancy shows that this vital truth has always been the position of the greatest theologians of the past centuries.
