On Sunday, we kicked off Unbelievable, our new sermon series at Seven Mile Road addressing some of the major objections to Christianity. We started the series by looking at the question, How Can We Really Trust the Bible?Beyond the sermon, here are some additional resources to read and watch that may be helpful for further study.

Why We Believe the Bible :: John Piper
John Piper, former pastor and founder of Desiring God, answers the question, “Is it possible to believe the Bible is inerrant if you don’t have faith?” He also offers a five part seminar on the inerrancy, inspiration, and authority of the Bible. LINK
Jesus and the Eyewitnesses :: Richard Bauckham
Jesus and the Eyewitness argues that the four Gospels are closely based on the eyewitness testimony of those who personally knew Jesus. Noted scholar Richard Bauckham challenges the prevailing assumption that the accounts of Jesus circulated as anonymous traditions, asserting instead that they are reliable accounts of the original eyewitnesses.
