We live in a time in which the Bible is more easily obtainable than ever before. At the same time, there is a growing uncertainty among many Christians about the way the Bible is to be used.

Are the Holy Scriptures really that holy, or are they no more than just human documents? Can an ancient test still be meaningful in our postmodern era? In the book, Dr van Bruggen explores the origin and significance of the Bible. He traces the development of the canon of Scripture, showing that Christians can have ample confidence that the whole Bible is indeed the Word of God, a coherent and trustworthy guide in the confusion of our day.
