Can I Really Trust The Bible?

~ The Bible makes big claims for itself. But do those claims stand up?

In this absorbing little book, Barry Cooper explores these questions - and many others - with warmth, wit and integrity.



Part of the Questions Christians Ask series: a range of short, simple books designed to help Christians understand what God has said about these questions and many more in the Bible.
