Vol 03 ARS Biblical Criticism and Inspiration

How can we share our faith in Jesus with a person who has no basis for belief that God exists? How can we establish the inspiration of the Bible for people who do not even understand the concept of authority? How are we going to explain Christian faith in a postmodern world which has abandoned the idea of truth? Cleary, the solution is not simply to read a passage of scripture and explain it. We need to understand how to defend the Bible and explain the proofs of inspiration.

Biblical Criticism and Inspiration will prepare you to defend the inspiration of the Bible. There are eleven lessons.
