History of the Bible: How The Bible Came To Us

Young children often think that milk comes in cartons from the grocery store. As they grow up they learn that milk comes from cows on the farm.

Understanding how the Bible came to us gives us a confident foundation for our faith in the reliability the Bible. Evidence presented in a criminal case must be shown to have been protected by a proper chain of custody from being tampered with.
