How accurate is our Bible?

Did God only inspire the faith and ethics of the Scriptures, or is all of it true? What about difficult passages? And how did we get the Bible we have today in its present form?Wenham does a great job, beginning with a good look at how Jesus himself regarded the Scriptures of His own day, of showing how God guided the whole process of forming and preserving the written Scriptures upon which Christianity is built. It gets a little technical in places, but is written for the general reader; the few places that were too difficult or detailed I just skimmed over. The Bible has never, least of all now, fit the standards of the world; it consistently gives a clear call to come out from the world's way of living and follow Christ. So it is of vital importance to know if we can trust it. Wenham does a masterful job of showing that we can.
