Why Hand Out This Tract

Skeptics and seekers alike wonder why they should trust a book written thousands of years ago. This tract answers with evidence a person can weigh for themselves: the Bible's remarkable unity across many writers and centuries, its fulfilled prophecies, its accuracy in history and geography, its survival through centuries of attack, and its practical power for life. It ends by pointing the reader to Christ.

What It Covers

• Unity: 66 books by nearly 40 writers over 1,600 years with one message
• Writing style and ethics: focused, honest about sin, and relevant in every age
• Fulfilled prophecy: prophecies about nations, cities, and more than 300 about Christ
• Accuracy and survival: pre-scientific knowledge, archaeology, and the Dead Sea Scrolls
