Background

The topic of this DeeperLife springs from two realities that seem to be at work in our world today:

1. Much has been written, acted, and spoken of in the past 10 years that has sought to erode the reliability of the scriptures as we presently have them. Many of these things have been blatantly fictional, or conspiratorial but regardless they have still planted seeds of doubt. Can we really trust the scriptures?
2. As people within the church struggle with issues of faith today, the core of these struggles continue to come back to the scriptures. If we can trust them as they are, then many of our questions are resolved. However, if we have wonderings of doubt about their reliability, then we are prone to remain in a place of disquiet.

In this DeeperLife we are going to look at the Bible as a historical document seeking to resolve some of the deep questions we have regarding its authenticity. In the end, we will still be asked to take steps of faith (with things of God, this will always be a requirement) but perhaps the steps won't be quite as big as you had maybe perceived them to be.

This Teaching

This teaching deals with the issue of authorship. Who wrote the Bible? Can we be sure?
