HISTORY OF THE BIBLE
Where did the Bible come from?
The Bible has a long history because God has been speaking since time began. He used forty men who came from three different continents over the span of 1600 years to tell us the true story of reality from the Creator’s perspective. The 66 books we find in our Bible miraculously tell one unified story.
