Always Ready: Apologetics 101
What does the Bible have to do with our lives today? Skeptics are shocked to hear that people in the twenty-first century still believe this ancient book and take it seriously. But the Bible is far more than an old book written by men long ago. In this session, Dr. Burk Parsons addresses the trustworthiness of Scripture, its authority as our guide for life, and how we can defend the Bible as the Word of God.
Dr. Burk Parsons acknowledges, with great appreciation, that several aspects of this message are based on Why You Can Believe the Bible by Dr. Voddie Baucham, Why We Believe – The Bible is God’s Word by Pastor Jeff Durbin, Can I Trust the Bible? by Dr. Robert Plummer, as well as the work of Dr. John D. Currid, Dr. Michael J. Kruger, Dr. R.C. Sproul, Dr. Daniel B. Wallace, J. Warner Wallace, and Dr. Thomas Woodward.
