Before we can hand our children any of the truths in this book, we need a secure foundation — and this chapter asks us to honestly examine how secure we believe that foundation to be.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.The chapter addresses the cultural assumption that the Bible is an ancient, culturally conditioned book that cannot be trusted as authoritative for modern life. Have you heard this argument — from a skeptic, from a media source, or perhaps even in your own doubts? What form did it take?
2.The authors distinguish between the Bible's inspiration (God-breathed origin) and its transmission (how it was copied and handed down). Why is it important for our children to understand that these are two separate questions?
3.The chapter points to the remarkable manuscript evidence for the New Testament — far more copies, and copies far closer to the originals, than any other ancient document. How does this historical and textual argument affect your own confidence in the Bible's reliability?
