Where Does The Bible Come From? with Dr. Peter Gurry and Dr. John Meade (Part 1)

Confronting Christianity with Rebecca McLaughlin

Show Notes

Where did the Bible come from—and how do we know we can trust it? Rebecca is joined by textual scholars John Meade and Peter Gurry to explore how Scripture was written, copied, translated, and recognized as canon. From the Septuagint to the Apocrypha, they unpack the Bible’s complex history—and why that history strengthens rather than weakens Christian confidence in God’s Word.
