Why Should I Trust the Bible?

Author: Timothy Paul Jones

This book brings to light the reality that the Bible is based solely around the story of the One who overcame death and was raised to life — Jesus Christ. The facts that Jesus rose from the dead and appeared to hundreds of people and that the historical veracity of this occurrence is unquestioned make the Bible all that more believable. Jesus endorsed the Old Testament Scriptures that His followers still read today, and the New Testament books used at present all have direct connections to those who saw Him after His bodily resurrection. This is why the Bible can be trusted. |

Overview:
Admittedly, the Bible is a difficult book to understand at times. This difficulty, combined with the current cultural climate that is skeptical to matters of faith merely for the sake of being skeptical, has caused many to question the reliability of the Scriptures. This book is for those people. It is for the skeptic who has trouble making sense of the seeming disconnect between the Jesus preached on Sunday mornings and the Jesus portrayed on social media or through hateful actions throughout the week.
