About This Series
Before exploring the people, places, and events of Scripture, it helps to understand the Bible itself. The Bible did not appear as a single book at one moment in history. Its writings emerged across centuries, in different languages, cultures, and historical settings. Understanding how these writings came together, how they were preserved, and how they have been passed down gives us a stronger foundation for reading Scripture today.
This four-part foundational series is the starting point for The Bible Unmasked. It explores what the Bible is, how its books came to be recognized as Scripture, and how we can approach its pages with greater understanding and confidence. Whether you’re new to studying the Bible or have been reading it for years, these articles provide a foundation for exploring Scripture with curiosity, historical awareness, and thoughtful examination.
