Ep. 180 - The Book That Won’t Go Away: Can We Trust The Bible? w/Prof. John D Woodbridge

Click here to text us your thoughts and questions!Can I really believe the Bible? How do I know it’s reliable? Many people say they believe the Bible—but what exactly are they believing? Is Scripture only trustworthy when it speaks about salvation, or can it also be trusted when it records history, geography and the events of the real world? In an age when confidence in truth itself is being challenged, the doctrine of biblical authority has once again become one of the defining issues facing the church. If the Bible is only reliable where we choose it to be, who ultimately becomes the final authority—God or us?In this episode, the Curious team sit down with internationally respected church historian Professor John Woodbridge to explore one of evangelical Christianity’s most significant debates. Together they examine biblical authority, inspiration, infallibility and inerrancy, unpack the famous Rogers–McKim controversy, and ask whether denying inerrancy has deeper theological consequences than many imagine. Whether you’re wrestling with difficult questions or simply want a deeper confidence in God’s Word, this conversation will challenge, encourage and equip you.Further ReadingHere’s a bit of homework for you….we’ve included a cross section of articles here for further reflection; https://www.cslewisinstitute.org/resources/are-biblical-manuscripts-reliable/https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/why-you-can-trust-your-bible/https://rts.edu/resources/how-we-know-we-can-trust-the-bible/What we’re reading?As a feature to our notes, we are adding the book or books that we’ve browsed related to this episode…enjoy!
