Course Description: With more than 7 billion copies sold, the Bible is consistently the best-selling book each year. Revered by billions, hated by billions more, it consists of 66 books from the pens of people from all walks of life, from kings and priests to common fisherman. Stretching back some 3,500 years, it is a record of the history and the wisdom of the human race, all backed by archeology. It is also a prophetic book that has lived up to all of its claims thus far. The Dead Sea Scrolls testify that the Old Testament has come down to us virtually unchanged. More than 24,000 manuscripts of the New Testament still exist, some dating back to within 24 years of the life of Jesus. This course provides the tools to unlock this book of the ages.
