Is the “silence of the Scripures” authoritative. The Bible itself states that it is.

What the Bible doesn’t tell us is an indication of its supernatural origin.

Some allege that whatever is not expressly forbidden is allowed in religious practice. Others contend that anything not authorized is not permitted. Is there any validity to the argument from silence?

Must a woman keep silent in the church? The term “silence” in 1 Corinthians 14:34 is often misunderstood and misapplied.

The inspiration of the Bible can be proven by several lines of argumentation. One of these is what the Bible does not say..

How should one view the literature of the Bible? As a mere human production? Or as the inspired word of God? First it is imperative that the sincere student ascertain how the biblical writers themselves viewed their productions. That is the thrust of this month’s Feature article. Study with us.

Peter’s recognition of fulfilled prophecies in Acts chapter 1 affirms the inspiration of Scripture.

Who determined which books were to go into the Bible? Exactly when did that occur? What are the Apocryphal books? Wayne Jackson addresses these important questions.

Some atheists reject the very existence of Jesus of Nazareth. But is this lack of belief based on a reasonable examination of the evidence? Not in the least.

The literary unity of the Bible is evidence of Divine inspiration.

A controversial question is whether women should be used as translators in the public worship assembly. Some, who would object to the modern practice of women leading public worship, have no problem in using a female translator. Others object to the practice.
