Synopsis

A lot of people have questions about the Bible. Who decided what books should be in the Bible? Why are there so many translations--and does it matter? Since the Bible was written by ordinary people, how do we know if it's trustworthy?How We Got Our Bible: Youth Edition answers these questions and more by examining how the Bible began, how it was preserved, transmitted, translated, spread, and communicated. By understanding the path these God-inspired writings have taken, you'll gain a better knowledge of how God's Word came to be, as well as a deeper love for its message.
