Secret Church 17: Scripture and Authority in an Age of Skepticism
Churches around the world look to Scripture as the foundation for their faith. Yet many followers of Christ never think to ask why this is the case, leaving them vulnerable to skeptics who claim that Scripture is merely an outdated human invention full of errors. In our day, many consider the Bible to be intolerant, chauvinistic, and ultimately dangerous.
In Secret Church 17, Pastor David Platt teaches Christians how to have confidence in the Scriptures as the Word of God. He addresses these critical questions, questions that have implications for our lives, for our families, for our churches, and for our mission to the world. The church desperately needs to recover confidence in Scripture’s authority in the midst of a skeptical age.
