Bible 101

Questions Every Christian Should Ask About The Bible

by Rosa floyd

This series was originally a series of blog posts designed to “encourage believers about the trustworthiness of Scripture and equip you to study God’s word for yourself.” It was written as Rosa was in the midst of teaching the Bible. When she received many questions about translations, manuscripts, and related topics, she realized that there was a general lack of understanding concerning basic ideas about the Bible. She wrote this series to answer some of those questions and spark believers to think more fully about the Scriptures.
