There were a variety of authors: fishermen, shepherds, a physician, kings, a rabbi, a tax collector, scribes, and priests. It includes about every imaginable topic: God, salvation, sex, money, marriage, family, war, politics, religion, relationships, leadership, business, etc. Yet considering all of this, the Bible reads not as a fragmented mess, but as a unified whole. The Bible is truly amazing. It has withstood about every kind of assault imaginable, and yet it still remains the best-selling book of all time. Sometimes I’m asked, “What about all the contradicti ons in the Bible?” I ask, “Which ones do you have in mind?” Usually, those who ask this question can’t mention a single contradiction. They are just parroting what they’ve heard. With advanced scholarship, such as found in The Encyclopedia of Bible Difficulties by Gleason Archer, Evidence That Demands A Verdict, Volumes I and II, by Josh McDowell, and other scholarly works, there are no major unanswered contradictions.
