About this book

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

Aren’t the stories just legends? Hasn’t the information been corrupted over time? Isn’t the Bible full of mistakes? And isn’t it culturally outdated?

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.

Endorsements

If I were teaching an Introduction to Christianity class that the whole planet had to take, I could see assigning this text. Well illustrated, well written, well reasoned, an excellent intro to God's most excellent book.

Jonathan Leeman Editorial Director of 9Marks Ministries; author of Reverberation and The Surprising Offense of God’s Love

The Bible says it is more precious than gold and sweeter than honey. But today most people doubt those claims. Many don’t even bother to read the Bible before dismissing it. Whether you’re a long-standing Christian or just beginning to explore the Christian faith, Can I Really Trust the Bible? will give you good reasons to pick up the Bible with confidence. It's a model of clear and engaging writing.

Tim Chester Crosslands Training; Author of Enjoying God

What if God has spoken and we're just not listening? Barry Cooper has given us straightforward and thoughtful answers to a seriously important question. Read this book and learn what the Bible really says about itself, and be equipped to answer today's common objections to its trustworthiness. I really love this book and can't wait to get it into the hands of the people I serve.

Amy Wicks Women's worker, St Helen's Bishopsgate

5.00 stars I found this little book to be informative, factual and concise. A good read in one sitting.

 

I found this little book to be informative, concise and informative it is small enough to read again and again for better digestion.

5.00 stars Informative, concise,thrilling

 

George's wife reviewing, he is about to read the book.!
As I said in my summary,a thrilling read. I learnt lots from one or two of the chapters about the canon of scripture. The last chapter brought tears to my eyes...this is God's Word to us and we can trust it implicitly and completely. We WILL pass it on for sure.

4.00 stars A good booklet

 

This is a good booklet - for either those who don't believe that the Bible is God's word to mankind or those who perhaps have faith, but still do not acknowledge the infallible truth of scripture.
