How did we get the Bible? Can we trust it? Can we have confidence that the manuscripts were copied and passed down correctly?
Many Christians have wondered about the answer to these questions. College students get confronted with them by students and professors alike. Unbelievers levy these sorts of problems as a reason to not embrace the faith. All of us in some capacity are confronted with these questions and it is vital for us to be able to answer them.
Join us on Saturday, February 18, for the Scribes & Scriptures Conference, where we will answer these questions for both the Old and New Testament. We will be led by special guests Dr. John Meade and Dr. Peter Gurry, who lead the Text & Canon Institute and are faculty members at Phoenix Seminary.
