The Bible stands at the heart of the Christian faith. But this leads to an inescapable question: why should we trust the Bible?

Written by pastor Greg Gilbert, author of the popular books What Is the Gospel? and Who Is Jesus?, this volume will help Christians articulate why they trust the Bible when it comes to who God is, who we are, and how we're supposed to live.
