Read MoreI have learned a lot in reading through much of the reading. I especially appreciated the slides and transcription of the lectures by Dr. Heiser. I truly appreciate his understanding and acceptance of the Biblical text as inspired from God. I was raised in a tradition where we were taught it was only true as far as translated correctly. I love Dr. Heiser's strong defense for the authenticity of the Bible! Thank you!
