The Bible is trustworthy, here's why:

How was it formed? Why were certain books included while others were left out? Has it changed over time? And in a world of competing truth claims, can we really trust what it says? This talk will explore the historical reliability, formation, and authority of Scripture in a clear and accessible way. Whether you’re confident in your faith or wrestling with questions, come and consider some of the most important issues we can ask about God’s Word and be better equipped in evangelism to respond when sceptics challenge what you believe. Our guest speaker is Simon Turpin, Executive Director of Answers in Genesis–UK/Europe. Simon is an experienced speaker and author who specialises in biblical authority and apologetics, helping Christians think clearly and confidently about why the Bible can be trusted in today’s culture.
