summary: "Challenges to the reliability of Scripture are perennial and feature often been addressed. even if, a few of these demanding situations are significantly extra universal at the present time, and the subject is presently of specific curiosity between evangelicals. ... Blomberg deals an available and nuanced argument for the Bible's reliability in keeping with the intense perspectives approximately Scripture and its authority articulated by way of each side of the controversy. He believes cautious research of the correct facts exhibits we've got cause to be extra convinced within the Bible than ever sooner than. As he strains his personal educational and religious trip, Blomberg sketches out the case for self belief within the Bible regardless of a number of demanding situations to the trustworthiness of Scripture, providing a favorable, trained, and defensible approach."--Publisher description
