How the Bible Came to Be - 2 Peter 1:20-21

What is our answer to critics who say the Old Testament only copied other literature? Or that the New Testament was written hundreds of years after the fact so the teachings of the original Apostles is lost? Do you ever wonder how we can be sure the Bible is truly God's Word? In this powerful message, we explore how the Bible came into existence, addressing tough questions and myths about Scripture, including: Did the Old Testament copy other ancient literature? Were the New Testament writings lost or corrupted over centuries? How does God inspire Scripture while using human authors? What does "verbal inspiration" and "inerrancy" really mean?

My sermons are the fruit of nearly 30 years of pastoral ministry, biblical counseling, formal seminary training, and a lifelong passion for God's Word. Since childhood, I've been drawn to the beauty and power of expository preaching—opening Scripture verse by verse and applying it to real life. After graduating from Moody Bible Institute, I spent the next 27 years serving as a youth pastor, senior pastor, church planter, and host of the Food For Your Soul radio broadcast. Along the way, I also earned a Master of Sacred Literature and a Doctor of Religious Studies. For more content from D. Richard Ferguson, visit TreasuringGod.com.
