In Defense of the Bible gathers exceptional articles by accomplished scholars (Paul Copan, William A. Dembski, Mary Jo Sharp, Darrell L. Bock, etc.), addressing and responding to all of the major contemporary challenges to the divine inspiration and authority of Scripture.
In Defense of the Bible
The book begins by looking at philosophical and methodological challenges to the Bible — questions about whether or not it is logically possible for God to communicate verbally with human beings; what it means to say the Bible is true in response to postmodern concerns about the nature of truth; defending the clarity of Scripture against historical skepticism and relativism.
Contributors also explore textual and historical challenges — charges made by Muslims, Mormons, and skeptics that the Bible has been corrupted beyond repair; questions about the authorship of certain biblical books; allegations that the Bible borrows from pagan myths; the historical reliability of the Old and New Testaments.

An easily read book on what can be a turgid subject ...
A very well constructed approach to this subject matter. An easily read book on what can be a turgid subject and very much suitable for the novice in apologetics. Some of the articles were a bit more superficial than I would have liked, but that can be put down to the fact that there are books written on what could only be an essay for inclusion in such a massive field. Excellent variety of opinion and "defense" to inform the novice student.
