TRANSMISSION OF THE BIBLE

"The accuracy of the present-day Hebrew version of the Old Testament is a result of the fastidious care with which the Sopherim and the Masoretes transmitted it.

The Importance And Validity Of Christian Apologetics

"The validity of Christian apologetics, or of the defense of the gospel, is taken for granted in the New Testament. This is particularly clear in the book of Acts, which is filled with accounts of the defense of the faith by Peter and John, Stephen, Paul, and other leaders of the Church, all of whom were prepared to lay down their very lives in the...

Biblical Criticism

"According to the Documentary hypothesis, the Biblical claims for the Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch are false. Rather, the first five books of the Bible are made up of many fragments by different authors. The earliest, the Jahwist (J), was an unknown writer who lived in the Southern Kingdom of Judah in about 850 B.C., either 440 or 600 years ...
