Christians rely on the Bible for information on both their most basic understanding of reality and in determining right and wrong in their decision-making. But can you rely on the Bible?

Evidence for the Bible is the first volume in the Consider Christianity series, written by Elgin Hushbeck, Jr. It discusses the evidence for the inspiration and reliability of the Bible and deals with objections. It is clear and forceful, but also invites dialogue on this key issue of the Christian faith.

Chapter titles are:

• “How Did We Get the Bible?”
• “The Bible and Modern Criticism.”
• “Archeology and the Bible.”
• “Science vs. Religion.”
• “Science and the Bible.”
• “Is the Bible Reliable?”
• “The Word of God or the Speculations of Men.”

There is a clear guide at the beginning of the book to indicate what is covered in each chapter, giving listeners a way to move quickly to the topics that most interest or concern them. There is also an extensive index of topics.

This third edition is revised and expanded and includes discoveries from the nearly 20 years since the second edition was released. You'll find a discussion of advancing scientific observations and theories, including early results from the James Webb telescope.

Pastors, Sunday School teachers, Christian education directors, and youth leaders will not want to miss this book.
