Lesson Overview

Written over a period of about 1,600 years by 40 different authors, the book on which the Christian faith rests tells one story that begins with creation and concludes on the threshold of eternity. The integrity of its historical and geographical record is supported by archeology. The accuracy with which it has been copied and handed down to us has been confirmed by the Dead Sea Scrolls of Qumran. Originating neither in the East nor the West but in the Middle East—the cradle of civilization—the Bible continues to speak not only with spiritual power but also with convincing prophetic accuracy.
