New book - The Enduring Word

Title: The Enduring Word: The Authority and Reliability of the Bible
Author: Robert M Solomon
Call number: 105 SOL









The Bible is the most important book in the world because it is God’s Word. But its authority and reliability have been questioned by some who point out that we do not have the original manuscripts today. We only have copies of the manuscripts and there are thousands of variations in these copies, which also contain copyist errors. To add to that, so many different versions of the Bible are used today. How then can we be confident that what we read in the Bible today is indeed the Word of God?

The Enduring Word sheds light on these and other questions by demystifying issues such as the canon, biblical manuscripts, textual variations, base texts and Bible translation. Discover how the Bible was written thousands of years ago, compiled to form the Bible as we now know it and preserved till today in various translations and versions. Written in a thought-provoking yet easy-to-understand manner, the book aims to inform readers and strengthen their confidence in the authority and reliability of the Bible. Be enlightened about the Word of God and be inspired to read it seriously and obey it wholly.

New book - The Conscience

Title: The Conscience: Rediscovering the Inner Compass
Author: Robert M Solomon

It comprehensively examines what the Bible actually teaches about the conscience and what roles it plays in the experience of salvation and spiritual formation. Discover how the church can minister to the conscience through teaching, modelling and healing as Bishop Robert Solomon analyses the role of the conscience in key areas of our lives: the family, workplace, and the public square.
