Overview

Discover the origins and history of the Holy Scriptures

The Bible is the bestselling, most read, most beloved, most criticized, most neglected, and most antagonizing book in history. It's also the most misunderstood—sometimes even by those who claim to follow its teachings. So what exactly is it? Who wrote it and how did those writings come together into what we now know as the Bible? And how do we know we can trust what it says?

For the curious reader, whether a lifelong Christian, a new believer, or an unconvinced skeptic, Unlocking the Scriptures provides the answers to these questions and more. In easy-to-understand language, it covers the Bible's origin, its transmission throughout history, its trustworthiness, and its significance.


"Jeff Lasseigne shows us how to approach God's book, the Bible, with reverence and walk away with a confident understanding. Every generation needs to know these truths, and Jeff has done a great service to this one by helping us see the big picture of God's redemptive plan."—Skip Heitzig, pastor and author
