Know your own faith: the inspiration and reliability of Scripture

Muslims will press hard on the Bible. Make sure you can articulate why Christians trust Scripture before you defend any specific text.

Starting prompt

How do you answer a Muslim who says, 'Your Bible has been changed many times' — without dismissing their concern or surrendering the text?

Practical disciplines

  • Read 2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21, and Hebrews 1:1-3.
  • Learn the basics of the New Testament canon: which books were always received, which were debated, and what the early lists looked like.
  • Understand the difference between textual variants and wholesale corruption — and why we can trust the text.
  • Read one short essay on canon (recommended: Michael Kruger, *Canon Revisited*, introduction).
