The Bible claims to be the inspired Word of God—but can we really trust it? Skeptics often claim that the Bible has been changed over the centuries, is filled with contradictions, contains historical and scientific errors, or is simply a collection of ancient religious writings produced by fallible men. If those accusations are true, Christianity has a serious problem. But are they?
There is a remarkable body of evidence supporting the Bible’s reliability—from ancient manuscripts and archaeological discoveries to fulfilled prophecy, historical corroboration, internal consistency, and more. The resources below examine that evidence and address many of the most common objections raised against the Bible, helping you understand why Christians have good reasons to believe that the Scriptures have been accurately preserved and can be trusted.

• “Why doesn’t God just appear to us in a public setting and prove He exists?”
• “The New Testament authors stole details for Jesus’s life story from religions that were around long before Christianity!”
• “The God of the Old Testament commanded the Israelites to commit genocide!”
• “The Bible condones slavery! Only evil, selfish men would concoct a book like that!”

EVOLUTION—Following the Evidence: Fossils, DNA, and the Question of Origins
Where did we come from? For more than 150 years, the theory of Darwinian evolution has been presented as the scientific explanation for the origin and diversity of life. From school textbooks to nature documentaries, it is often described as settled science. But is it? In this clear and engaging investigation, Charlie Campbell examines some of the most important lines of evidence related to origins—fossils, DNA, biological complexity, natural selection, and human uniqueness—and asks a simple but profound question: What best explains what we actually observe? Rather than asking readers to ignore science, this book invites them to look more closely at it. Along the way, it explores whether the evidence more naturally fits an unguided evolutionary process, or the idea of intentional design by a Creator. Each chapter is written in an accessible, step-by-step style, helping readers follow the reasoning without requiring a scientific background. The goal is not confusion or controversy, but clarity. Whether you are a committed Christian, a skeptic, or simply curious, this book encourages you to think carefully about one of life’s biggest questions—and to follow the evidence wherever it leads.
