The Bible is the the most unusual book ever written and the best seller of all time. An array of incontrovertible facts gives overwhelming evidence of the Bible's divine origin and complete trustworthiness:
(1) By virtue of the number of copies or parts of ancient manuscripts extant, their closeness in years to the original, and the agreement of scholars on their accuracy, the Bible is by far the most reliable of all ancient works, much more so than the next most reliable, Homer's Iliad;
(2) It was written over a period of about 1,600 years, on three continents, in three languages, and by some 40 authors ranging from peasants to kings. In spite of that, it has an amazing consistency and continuity, making an external Guiding Hand an obvious necessity;
(3) The Bible uniquely claims itself to be divine, and in its pages God speaks even in the first person;
(4) Prophecy and later exact fulfillment give the Bible an internal authenticity;
(5) The modern science of archaeology has consistently confirmed the Bible's most minute details, silencing previous critics and scoffers;
(6) Jesus Christ Himself believed and taught the Bible's complete accuracy, both before and after His resurrection, even to the "jot" and "tittle," the smallest components of the Hebrew alphabet;
(7) Modern computer and mathematical analysis has revealed evidence of previously hidden word and number patterns that could not have been placed by mortals or occurred by chance -- apparently a divine signature of the Creator to further authenticate His work and to demonstrate His power.
In conclusion, all objective evidence supports the statement of the apostle Paul who said, "All Scripture is God-breathed."
