The Authenticity and Reliability of the Bible

Evidence from inspiration, canon, manuscripts, archaeology, prophecy, and Scripture’s unity confirms the Bible’s authenticity and reliability.

Why We Can Trust the Bible

The Bible is trustworthy because of its inspiration, preservation, historical accuracy, fulfilled prophecy, unity, and authority.

How Jehovah inspired, preserved, transmitted, recognized, copied, and translated the Bible from ancient manuscripts to modern editions.

Modern Bible translations must be judged by fidelity to the preserved Hebrew and Greek text, not age, popularity, or tradition.

The Bible has textual variants, but its original wording and message have not been lost or destroyed.

Faithful interpretation begins by establishing the inspired wording before explaining doctrine, context, grammar, and application.

The Bible deserves careful examination because its text, history, prophecy, unity, and witness to Jesus withstand responsible scrutiny.

Early manuscript transmission preserved God’s Word through reverent copying, public reading, wide circulation, and textual restoration.

A faithful Bible translation accurately renders the inspired Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek text without hiding doctrine or altering meaning.

The Uthmanic recension shows that the Quran was standardized after Muhammad by official selection and destruction of rival codices.
