Why This Bible?

The Bible claims that God speaks true and authoritative words to us through fallible human authors. Peter explains that the Holy Spirit "carried along" these authors, without bypassing their unique personalities, languages, cultures and times. Accepting the Bible as we find it today means accepting the Spirit continued to work through people in history to authenticate, preserve, transmit and translate it into other languages. While Scripture is not as tidy as we might want, the Spirit continues to speak through it, illuminating the abundant grace of Jesus to all who will receive it.
