Is the Bible Reliable and Accurate? 

The Bible is the most unique book ever written. Originally written in three languages, over a time span of 1,600 years, by over forty different human authors, the Bible stands alone among all the books of the world.

Though written by human authors, the Bible claims to have one supreme Author who orchestrated its unity and fulfilled its predictions. This book was obviously designed to get our attention and to communicate God's plan for His creation. The Bible claims that God desired from the beginning of time to relate with men personally, to love us, and to have us choose to love Him back. This message alone sets this book apart from all the religious books of our world. Other books communicate how man must perform to gain God's approval; in contrast, the Bible communicates how God performed by reaching down to mankind and providing a way for us to have an eternal relationship with God.

Many who study the Bible see its uniqueness in its uncanny ability to be relevant to today's situations. Some have called it "God's Instruction Manual for those Living Here on Planet Earth." They have found its wisdom capable of solving life's most perplexing problems and unique ability to heal our fractured relationships with one another and with God Himself. Though some try to dismiss the Bible as a collection of error-filled chapters, most scholars recognize the Bible as historically consistent and archeologically accurate.
