Teen Camp Session 3: Is the Bible God’s Word?: The Handbook of Proofs for Divine Inspiration

If God wrote a book, what characteristics would it have? Reliable guide to history, fulfilled prophecies, accurate insight into life, unified themes, enduring, and life changing power?

In this podcast I look at evidence for the divine inspiration of the Bible, and how to use your hand to remember seven categories of evidence (credit to Greg Koukl  for the original idea). I also briefly examine if we have accurate copies of the original texts or if thousands of years of copying by hand distorted the text.
