The Bible, the Preserved Word of God

God’s word has always been subjected to the attacks of the Adversary. These attacks have taken many forms, but the principal aim has always been to produce doubt in the mind of the one hearing God’s word and to cause the question to be asked, “Yea, hath God said?” This course examines the issues pertaining to the Divine preservation of the Bible so that a knowledgeable and confident response can be made to such attacks.
