The Bible explains and proves itself
The book begins with the Bible's own story. The Old Testament was written in Hebrew on scrolls. A Greek translation, the Septuagint, was made in Alexandria by seventy scholars. Jerome later produced the Latin Vulgate.
Copying by hand kept Bibles scarce, so ordinary people knew little of what they said. The first book printed with movable type was a Latin Bible in 1456. The author sees this as a turning point for the Reformation.
The opening essay claims that the Bible shows its own divine origin. Part 1 backs this with verses saying all Scripture is given by inspiration of God. Studying it is called a duty and a joy, and the Bereans are praised for searching daily.
That’s 1 of 9 key points.
