📖 The Dead Sea Scrolls play a pivotal role in our understanding of the Bible's authenticity. Discovered in 1947, these scrolls date back to 100 BCE to CE 100 and include copies of almost all books of the Hebrew Bible. We'll explore how these ancient texts validate the accuracy of our modern scriptures.

✍️ Discover the meticulous methods of ancient scribes, who followed strict principles to preserve the sanctity and accuracy of the scriptures. From using clean animal skins to counting every letter, their dedication ensured the reliability of the texts we read today.

📚 Moving to the New Testament, we discuss its composition shortly after Christ's life, with contributions from eyewitnesses and friends of Jesus. Learn about the oldest manuscript fragments and the extensive collection of Greek, Latin, and other early manuscripts that far surpass any other ancient texts in quantity and preservation.

🕍 Who decided what books made it into the Bible? We'll dive into the process of canonization, both for the Old and New Testaments, and how councils like those of Hippo and Carthage played a role in formalizing the books we know today.

❤️ Beyond historical facts and figures, Todd shares his personal spiritual journey and belief in Jesus Christ. He invites viewers to explore the Bible, offering it as a life-changing book of divine inspiration.
