Hour 2: Why Should I Trust The Bible?
The Bible is a cobbled–together selection of ancient writings that have been changed so many times by so many people over hundreds of years that surely the text can no longer be trusted – right? Certainly, there are plenty of people who take this view. Today our guest will address the fact that the Bible is a difficult book to believe. It is full of incidents that seem highly improbable, if not impossible. Join us as we take a look at the claims of the Bible and discover they can be trusted.
