The Story of the Bible:

What It Is and How We Got It

by Dr. J. Carl Laney

Have you ever wondered how we got the Bible we read today—how ancient manuscripts became the book that sits on your shelf? Dr. J. Carl Laney’s The Story of the Bible takes you on a fascinating journey through Scripture’s development, from divine inspiration to modern translations. Dr. Laney reveals how God worked through human authors, scribes, and translators to give us His written Word. This engaging resource will deepen your confidence in the Bible’s reliability while answering questions you might have wondered but never asked or never got answers to.
