Where did the Bible come from? What is the background of its origin? Who authored it? Can one be certain God preserved both the Old and New Testaments?
Is the Bible complete without the Apocrypha or other obscure writings? Does evidence exist that these documents belong in God’s Word? Many facts about the assembly and preservation of the Bible—called canonization—show God’s guiding hand in the entire process. Section I of this booklet explains the amazing story of how God preserved His Word! Also, God commands us to seek His kingdom first and to search the Scriptures—the Bible—daily. But how can we do this if it has not been translated into the language of the common people? Section II explains which of the 70 English translations produced today you should use.
