2-The Bible: it's nature, development, and reliability

In this lecture I discuss the nature and development of the Bible, the wealth of manuscript evidence that shows us we can be confident that the Bible we have conforms to the original writings, and show why we know it has not been corrupted. I discuss how archaeology has corroborated what the Bible says. I conclude by observing that if Jesus is who he said he is (God come to earth as a man), that provides an independent means of knowing that the Bible is reliable, because he accepted its reliability
