In Defense of the Bible gathers exceptional articles by accomplished scholars (Paul Copan, William A. Dembski, Mary Jo Sharp, Darrell L. Bock, etc.), addressing and responding to all of the major contemporary challenges to the divine inspiration and authority of Scripture. The book begins by looking at philosophical and methodological challenges to the Bible—questions about whether or not it is logically possible for God to communicate verbally with human beings; what it means to say the Bible is true in response to postmodern concerns about the nature of truth; defending the clarity of Scripture against historical skepticism and relativism. Contributors also explore textual and historical challenges—charges made by Muslims, Mormons, and skeptics that the Bible has been corrupted beyond repair; questions about the authorship of certain biblical books; allegations that the Bible borrows from pagan myths; the historical reliability of the Old and New Testaments. Final chapters take on ethical, scientific, and theological challenges— demonstrating the Bible’s moral integrity regarding the topics of slavery and sexism; harmonizing exegetical and theological conclusions with the findings of science; addressing accusations that the Christian canon is the result of political and theological manipulation; ultimately defending the Bible as not simply historically reliable and consistent, but in fact the Word of God.

Defined Bible Study Book includes content for eight sessions, personal study between group sessions, applicable Scripture, "How to Use This Study," tips for leading a group, a leader guide, and a family-discipleship page. When you introduce yourself to someone for the first time, you have an opportunity to define yourself. You disclose your name, profession, and interests. These factors help our culture define us, but are those answers enough? People are struggling in ten thousand ways because of identity issues. They can't help but ask, who am I? and why do I matter? Can our culture really provide meaningful answers to those questions, or do we need something deeper and more significant? Before asking, who am I? we need to be able to answer, who is God? If we can't answer the first question, we will never answer the second. The problem with our search for identity is that we are looking in all the wrong places. Scripture teaches that we are all made in the image of God. We do not define ourselves--the Creator does. We were all created to be known and loved by God. Once those answers are clear, we can move forward and discover all God has called us to be. Session topics: 1. Uniquely Created by God 2. Uniquely Broken by Sin 3. Transformed by the Gospel 4. Who We Are in Christ 5. What We Have in Christ 6. Living Out Our Identity 7. Walking in the Spirit 8. Walking in Mission Features:; Videos and session previews featuring Alex and Stephen Kendrick ; Eight small-group sessions; Personal-study opportunities for ongoing spiritual growth; Promotional video; Social-media assets for the group leader Benefits:; Answer the questions "Who is God?" and "Who am I?"; Define yourself by God's standard.; Learn how sin has uniquely broken you.; Discover how you can be transformed by the gospel of Christ.; Understand what it means to be created for good works.; Develop a deeper appreciation for the Book of Ephesians.; Learn to walk with Christ in stronger faith and assurance.; Use the unique way God has gifted and created you to serve others.; Take hold of the grace available to you in Christ.; Find purpose and meaning in Christ.; Define yourself by the Creator's call instead by a cultural identity.
