How can we be certain that the Bible is inspired? Is believing in biblical inspiration simply a circular argument, or is there a meaningful cumulative case for recognizing Scripture as the Word of God? In this episode of *Theology Unplugged*, Michael begins examining the major evidences for the inspiration of Scripture: its self-attestation, uniqueness, historicity, prophetic character, the testimony of Christ, life-changing power, and the testimony of the Holy Spirit. The Bible certainly claims inspiration for itself. But Michael explains why self-attestation cannot be the only evidence. At the same time, if Scripture truly is the Word of God, there can be no higher authority by which God’s Word may finally be authenticated. As Hebrews says of God, “Since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself.” Michael also explores the extraordinary uniqueness of the Bible—a collection of 66 books written by more than 40 authors, in three languages, across three continents, over approximately 1,500 years—yet presenting a unified theological and redemptive message. The episode then turns to the historical reliability of Scripture. Christianity does not ask people merely to assume that the Bible’s historical claims are true because it is inspired. Those claims, particularly the resurrection of Jesus Christ, can and should be investigated historically. Finally, Michael considers one of the Bible’s most overlooked marks of authenticity: its radical honesty. Scripture consistently records the sins, doubts, failures, and humiliations of its own heroes. David murders. Peter denies Christ. The apostles abandon Him. Abraham doubts. Jonah runs. Noah becomes drunk. Israel repeatedly rebels. These are not the kinds of polished stories normally invented to glorify a nation or its founders.
