Imagine the Bible on trial. 66 books bound together, sitting in the witness stand, facing cross-examination. The prosecutor asks: “Can this ancient book really be trusted? Isn’t it full of contradictions? Didn’t centuries of copying corrupt it? Doesn’t archaeology disprove it?”

In this third episode of the Understanding the Bible mini-series, host Dr. Shaun Michael takes the Bible out of the Sunday school bubble and places it under rigorous historical, archaeological, and literary scrutiny. Using the historian’s Three-Part Test—transmission, internal consistency, and external confirmation—this episode shows why Scripture doesn’t just survive cross-examination, it mic-drops every skeptic’s claim.

What you’ll learn:

✅ Why the Bible’s manuscript evidence outclasses every ancient text (5,800+ Greek manuscripts vs. Plato’s handful)

✅ How archaeology confirms names, places, and events once dismissed as myth (Erastus inscription, Pool of Bethesda, Tel Dan Stele, Pilate inscription, Jericho’s walls)

✅ Why Luke is one of the most accurate historians of the ancient world

✅ How secular historians like Tacitus and Josephus affirm biblical events (Jesus’ crucifixion, John the Baptist, James)

✅ The staggering unity of Scripture—40 authors, 1,500 years, 3 continents, 3 languages, yet one theme: God’s redemptive plan

✅ How fulfilled prophecy (Micah 5:2, Isaiah 53, Babylon’s fall, Cyrus named before birth) demonstrates divine authorship

✅ Why Messianic prophecies mathematically demolish the “coincidence” theory

This isn’t just about academics. If the Bible is reliable, then God’s promises are unshakable, His commands are binding, and His gospel is true. That means you can build your life—and your eternity—on its foundation with confidence.

Has the Bible been corrupted over centuries of copying and translation? Or can we trust that the text in our hands today faithfully reflects what the prophets and apostles originally wrote?

In this second episode of the Understanding the Bible mini-series, host Dr. Shaun Michael takes listeners on the Bible’s incredible journey—from ancient manuscripts to modern translations. Along the way, he tackles the claims of skeptics like Bart Ehrman, the confusion stirred by conspiracy theories, and even the narrow arguments of KJV-Only advocates. The result? A clear, compelling case that the Bible has been miraculously preserved by God’s providence across generations.

What you’ll learn:

✅ Why ancient scribes treated copying Scripture as an act of worship, not casual work

✅ How nearly 6,000 Greek manuscripts (and 20,000+ in other languages) prove the New Testament’s reliability

✅ Why minor scribal errors don’t change core doctrines—and actually highlight God’s preservation

✅ How textual criticism works like CSI for Scripture—reconstructing the original text with 99.5% certainty

✅ Why the “lost gospels” (Thomas, Judas, etc.) never belonged in the canon

✅ How modern translations (ESV, NASB, NIV) faithfully reflect the earliest and best manuscripts

✅ Why KJV-Onlyism misses the bigger picture of God’s global mission through translation

We’re not here to play defense—we’re here to show why the manuscript evidence, textual criticism, and translation history actually confirm the Bible as the most reliable, preserved, and translated text in human history.

Is the Bible just a book, or the literal Word of God?

In this kickoff episode of the Understanding the Bible mini-series, host Dr. Shaun Michael confronts the critical question at the core of Christianity: Can we actually trust the Bible? From skeptics like Bart Ehrman to pop-level conspiracies about Constantine and the Council of Nicaea, this episode cuts through the myths and lays out the evidence for revelation, inspiration, and canonization.

What you’ll learn:

• The difference between general and special revelation
• Why the Bible is God-breathed, not dictated
• How dual authorship (divine + human) makes the Bible unique
• Why the canon wasn’t created, but recognized
• How common objections (contradictions, corruption, political agendas) fall apart under scrutiny

We’re not here to play defense. We’re here to build a case for the Bible’s reliability, power, and divine origin—because if the Bible is true, it changes everything.
