How We Got Our Bible

4. Is the NT True?, Apologetics, Christianity, How We Got Our Bible, inspiration, New Testament, Ryan Leasure, Theology and Christian Apologetics
By Ryan Leasure This article is the first in a series of nine blog posts that will unpack the story of how we got our Bible. That is to say, the Bible didn’t just fall from heaven into our laps. Rather, the Bible is the result of a long process that starts from the mind of God and ends with to our modern English translations. The process involves inspiration of texts, collecting certain books, rejecting other books, copying of manuscripts, evaluating thousands of manuscripts to recreate the originals as much as possible, translating the Hebrew and Greek texts into English, and then creating translations that are readable in our modern vernacular. As you may have guessed, this series will deal with some of the more crucial issues surrounding the Bible—issues such as canon, the apocrypha, the…

By Luke Nix Introduction If you consume a large portion of your material through audio, it is hard to get past a good deal on an excellent audio book. Twice every year ChristianAudio.com runs a sale on most of their collection, and you can usually pick up these great audio resources for $7.49. The time has come for the first sale of 2021 (and beyond), so I will be highlighting some of my favorite audio books. I’ll include a few of my favorite quotes from the books, my recommendation from my chapter-by-chapter reviews, links to posts that were inspired by the books, and, of course, I will include links to the audio book deal throughout the article.

Think of cars. A Tesla and a Cadillac share many features — but of course, none of that means that Teslas blindly evolved from Cadillacs, or vice versa. Source

Well, Hillary is back with an equally great new book called Mama Bear Apologetics Guide to Sexuality. And she writes about hard issues in a fun and memorable way. For example, here’s a short excerpt: The idea that sexuality should be guarded is not very popular. Our society sees it as just a prudish phase we went through back in the Victorian era. Thanks to Freud, we are now supposedly enlightened, understanding that sexual repression is basically the gateway to all mental illnesses. Be…

Una cuestión de días: interpretando el primer capítulo del Génesis

Apologética, Biblia, Cristianismo, Días literales, Español, Genesis, Jonathan McLatchie, Los días en Génesis, Teología, Tierra joven, Tierra vieja
He estado publicando una serie de artículos sobre la mejor manera de interpretar los primeros capítulos del Génesis y sobre cómo la ciencia puede iluminar los textos bíblicos y guiar nuestra hermenéutica. En este artículo, exploraré el texto del primer capítulo de las Escrituras, Génesis 1, en vista a determinar si este texto compromete a una interpretación de Tierra joven de los orígenes o, al menos, la medida en que el texto tiende a apoyar tal punto de vista, si es que lo hace. Es común que los creacionistas de la Tierra joven supongan que, si se puede demostrar que la interpretación del texto de la Tierra joven es el enfoque hermenéutico más valioso o más simple, entonces este es el punto de vista que uno debe preferir, y por…
