Authority of Scripture: A Survey
Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In "Authority of Scripture: A Survey" by Steve Gregg, the author argues that the Bible is the final authority for Christians, containing the revealed mind of God. While younger generations may reject the Bible due to a lack of understanding and cultural indoctrination, the authors of the Bible were likely eyewitnesses to the events they wrote about. The Bible's historical claims, particularly those of Jesus dying and resurrecting, suggest they are credible, and while the Bible includes stories of miracles, they are not present throughout the entire text.
