Summary

Tragically, many so-called experts today are spreading inaccurate or biased information about the Bible. Authors and researchers Ankerberg and Burroughs have written Taking a Stand for the Bible to help set the record straight. Along the way, they answer the most crucial questions both Christians and non-Christians are asking, including: How did we get the Bible? How accurate is the Bible? Is the Bible still relevant to today? This is an ideal resource for anyone who wants to know more about the Bible's importance in contemporary culture or who is on a serious quest for truth about the most influential book ever written. Includes exclusive interviews with some of today's top Bible scholars, including Dr. Craig Blomberg, Dr. Darrell Bock, Dr. Gary Habermas, and Dr. N.T. Wright. Together they point to remarkable and convincing evidence that affirms the Bible's integrity and reliability.
