What makes the Bible the Bible? In this lesson, Pastor Ed Decker takes us back to the foundation of what we believe about the Word of God. The Bible contains 66 books, written by approximately 40 different authors over a period of roughly 1,500–1,600 years, yet these books form ONE BOOK—the Word of God.
