Challenges to the reliability of Scripture are perennial and have
frequently been addressed. However, some of these challenges are
noticeably more common today, and the topic is currently of particular
interest among evangelicals.
In this volume, highly regarded
biblical scholar Craig Blomberg offers an accessible and nuanced
argument for the Bible's reliability in response to the extreme views
about Scripture and its authority articulated by both sides of the
debate. He believes that a careful analysis of the relevant evidence
shows we have reason to be more confident in the Bible than ever before.
As he traces his own academic and spiritual journey, Blomberg sketches
out the case for confidence in the Bible in spite of various challenges
to the trustworthiness of Scripture, offering a positive, informed, and
defensible approach.
