My New Lay-Level Class on the Origins and Authority of the Bible
Note: This post is regularly updated with new handouts and MP3 recordings.
Have you ever had a time in your life when you really (I mean really) doubted the truth of the Bible? Maybe you wondered whether everything you ever believed was a lie. Anyone who’s gone through such an experience, and come out on the other side, knows how much their spiritual health is tied to their trust in Scripture.
In short, understanding the origins and authority of the Bible is a practical issue. It’s a spiritual issue. While I am convinced that most evangelicals believe the truth of the Bible, I think far fewer can articulate why… Continue reading...
Looking for Lay-Level Videos on the Origins of the NT Canon? Here’s My New @Ligonier Series
One of the most common questions I am asked is whether I have introductory, lay-level material on the origins of the NT canon that people can use in their churches. For small group Bible studies or Sunday School classes, most people simply won’t read Canon Revisited or any of my other books.

The @RTSCharlotte Women’s Bible Study Has Started Again!
As many of you know, from 2014 to 2016 I led a women’s Bible study on the RTS Charlotte campus on the book of Romans–42 installments in all. The HD videos of the study (with handouts) are available here.
We continue to be encouraged to hear that the videos are being watched by folks all over the country and the world. Just a short time ago, I received an email from a group in Slovakia that is working their way through the Romans study.
The idea for this study was born out of a desire to connect with the people in the city of Charlotte outside the formal classroom … Continue reading...
