Have you ever wondered how we can trust a book that was hand-copied in secret, by candlelight, over hundreds of years?

Most people think the Bible fell from the sky in leather-bound English. The truth is much more "messy," much more human, and—honestly—almost miraculous. In Session 3 of our series, "God’s Communication With Us," we are going behind the scenes of the most scrutinized text in human history. I’ll be showing you exactly how a "mistake" in the oldest complete Bible we have actually proves the reliability of the Gospel.

‍We’re going to uncover:
The "Cleaning of the Pen": Why early Christians used a special code (Nomina Sacra) whenever they wrote the name of Jesus.

‍The Scribal Eye-Jump: How a scribe in the 2nd century accidentally "erased" a person from the Parable of the Good Samaritan—and how we caught him.

‍The Price of English: The story of the man who was strangled and burned at the stake just so you could read the New Testament in your own language.

‍The Greek Bridge: Why the timing of Alexander the Great was the "hidden key" after the Day of Pentecost.

The "messiness" of these ancient manuscripts doesn't weaken the message; it proves how much these people were willing to risk their lives to make sure the next village heard the news.

It’s a story of kings, scholars, martyrs, and a "tapestry" of three languages that met at the Cross.
