How The Bible Came to Be by Stephen Geiger explores the Bible’s origin, preservation, and translations. Connecting Scripture with historical and archaeological findings, the author provides the reader evidence of the miracles associated with God’s providential care of the Bible. Key takeaways from reading this book are that God is the Bible’s author, God oversees the safekeeping of the integrity of his Word, and God desires to talk to all of us through the Bible.

The book examines how the Bible was under constant attack by the devil and evil worldly forces looking to undermine and destroy it. The survival of artifacts and writings in support of biblical accuracy is considered miraculous and evidence of God’s providential involvement. The reader will soon recognize that the Bible did not come together by random chance or the schemes of men. God’s hand was directly involved with the Bible coming to be.

A use case for this book is as a resource for outreach and evangelism opportunities. Bible skeptics may be curious and open to an invitation to read the book. Besides the historical evidence presented, the book will also expose the Bible skeptic to God’s Word . . . an opportunity for the means of grace to work.

I highly recommend picking up a copy of How the Bible Came to Be and sharing with your family, friends, and neighbors.
