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
