Book Overview
Defense of the Bible begins with rational proofs for the historicity and accuracy of its documents. Christ and the Bible places the argument for the authority of scripture squarely on Jesus. With uncluttered logic and straightforward prose Wenham marshals Gospel evidence to show Jesus' own view of Scripture-that it is (1) historically accurate, (2) authoritative, (3) the standard for ethics, and (4) the verbally inspired revelation of God. He then considers why we should listen to Jesus when he makes such claims and why ""Christ's view should be the Christian view."" The study substantiates Jesus' reliability influence on all New Testament writers. Finally, Wenham considers two related problems: first, which writings really belong in the Bible; second, the reliability of the text as now available. The presentation is easy to read and understand. This third edition updates and dialogs with recent developments.

How accurate is our Bible?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Did God only inspire the faith and ethics of the Scriptures, or is all of it true? What about difficult passages? And how did we get the Bible we have today in its present form?Wenham does a great job, beginning with a good look at how Jesus himself regarded the Scriptures of His own day, of showing how God guided the whole process of forming and preserving the written Scriptures upon which Christianity is built. It gets a little technical in places, but is written for the general reader; the few places that were too difficult or detailed I just skimmed over. The Bible has never, least of all now, fit the standards of the world; it consistently gives a clear call to come out from the world's way of living and follow Christ. So it is of vital importance to know if we can trust it. Wenham does a masterful job of showing that we can.
