Making of the Bible

Many people who view the Bible as God’s word believe it must have come into existence with little or no human agency. But this idea is foreign to the biblical authors and to Scripture’s very traceable history. It was not written in secret! The authors of these texts were, of course, human. However, they also claimed God was speaking to his people through these human words. In this first lecture of a three-part series, Tim explores the making of the books of the Old Testament and what we can know from the Bible itself about how it came into existence. Tim gave this series of lectures in February 2012 at Blackhawk Church in Madison, Wisconsin.

This is the first of a three-part series about the making of the Bible. This first lecture is about the making of the books of the Old Testament and how much we know from the Bible itself about how it came into existence.

This is the second part of the three part series on the making of the Bible. In this episode we look at how the books of the New Testament were written and collected. If you haven’t listened to the first part, I highly recommend going back and listening to it.

This is the third of a three part series on the making of the Bible. If you haven’t listened to the other two episodes, I recommend listening to those first.
