Have you ever wondered about the authenticity, accuracy, or authority of the Bible? Have you ever dug into the historical accuracy of the gospel accounts? Have you ever wondered, "Can I be sure about my beliefs in Jesus?"

Led by Jay Scott and James Canterbury, this study will help answer some of your questions about the Bible and Jesus, enabling you to continue growing in your faith.
