The Bible’s Uniqueness

  • The Bible’s 66 books were written over a span of 1500 years by 40 different authors who lived on three different continents and wrote in three different languages. Yet this diverse collection has a unified storyline and no contradictions.
  • Hundreds of biblical prophecies have been fulfilled. (Some great examples are found in Daniel 2; Isaiah 13; Luke 21:5-6).
  • The Bible has been repeatedly confirmed as being historically, archaeologically, and geographically accurate.
  • The Old Testament we use today is 99% accurate when compared to the Dead Sea Scrolls dating from 200 B.C.
  • The New Testament we use today is 99% accurate when compared to more than 5,600 partial and complete NT manuscripts dating from the first three centuries A.D.
  • No other religious holy book in the world comes close to matching the Bible’s evidence for being the divinely inspired word of God.
