Uniqueness of the Bible
Authority of ScripturesSteve Gregg
In "Uniqueness of the Bible," Steve Gregg highlights the distinct characteristics of the Bible that sets it apart from other books. The Bible's unity, internal consistency, and vast coverage of historical and instructional content underscore a greater power at work. Despite criticism regarding human error transmission, the strong manuscript evidence of the Bible's authenticity and survival throughout ages of persecution suggests it may be of divine origin. Gregg encourages further investigation and contemplation of the Bible's uniqueness.
