We have a weekly Bible Study at my workplace during lunch. For a little over a year, we have been going through the book, "History and Authenticity of the Bible" By Dr. David Hocking.

We are about halfway through the book and I have come to the conclusion, that the topic is much more complicated than most realize. I recommend the book. It is extraordinary!

This is part of the introduction ...

This course was taught during twenty-five classroom sessions with the purpose of instructing Bible college students in topics such as the inspiration, the inerrancy, and the authority of God's Word. The instructor examines how the Bible was written over centuries of time and how it has been preserved by the Author Himself. He explains the process of translations from the original languages; the importance of canonicity; the issues of textual criticism; and the principles of interpretation. This informative series will elicit bold confidence in the infallible Word of God.

Ages ago someone wisely said, “We cannot dispense with a single word of Holy Writ; the removal of a part would mar the completeness and connection of the whole. Absolutely perfect are the proportions of God’s inspired truth.” That view of the Bible is strictly adhered to in this course taught by David Hocking. It is available through the text or the audio version, and we encourage you to enroll today

You would be better off praying or studying how to become closer to God then reading one person's opinion on bible history. Such studies are nice but don't enhance your relationship with God.

That is exactly what I am saying. I'm 100% with you there.

How beautiful to have a Bible study at work! Lucky man.
