Have you heard a lot of attacks on the reliability of the Word of God but never heard a clear explanation of the origins of the Bible? Here is the series for you.

Doubt in the scriptures is cleverly dispersed all around us but we rarely have time or the materials to actually combat these attacks. Down deep in our hearts, we sometimes feel they might be true. We don't dare to explore this topic. In a series of six questions we answer the major doubts thrown at the reliability of the Bible.
