Using this one for a special study in our church.
Format: Paperback
This is a very scholarly book, but the author seeks to simplify it a bit for the reader. This book is written to respond to Biblical skeptics and answers many of the challenges those folks have for skeptics. Very well researched and very well written.

A Pleasure To Read
Format: Kindle
Academic books are known to be dry and poorly written, with semantics used that inadvertently confuse the reader; not with this book. Mounce displays that not only does he really know his “stuff” as a scholar, but how to make the read enjoyable to the laity. I recall reading the notorious bible skeptic’s book, “Misquoting Jesus” by Bart Ehrman a number of years back and even though as a Christian who loves the Bible I couldn’t help but notice how well and enjoyable he made the book. Both Mounce and Ehrman are in the same field and understand as textual critics how to communicate to people in an manner to the lay person.
I sought out this book with the understanding of how we can trust the canon and got a lot more than I thought! While, I will admit, a lot of trusting that the 27 books of the New Testament (and the Old Testament) are what they are supposed to be is a matter of trusting God in his sovereignty. He laid great groundwork for why the early church believed them and what their criterion was to accept a book as “scripture”. He also brought some important distinctions int eh church’s infancy that there was a functional canon and exclusive canon; that being from scholar Michael Kruger that he referenced.
I found the section on translations very useful as it brought a balanced perspective on what it means not just translate but how to treat the text properly. One of his examples with a big criticism on the term “reading the Bible literally” when translated from one language (Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic) to another (English, etc.). We develop much of our words in translation not just by individuals words that can mean a lot of different things, but with its surrounding context.
I won’t spend too much time but there were a vast amount of other important topics, like the historical Jesus, Old Testament as well as the problem of evil and other things that where quite useful to, but for me and the importance of canon is why I sought on this book. Now I am still on the journey of studying more about why this canon but a lot more clearly has come and I trust the Lord in his sovereignty in that we have preserved God’s holy books.
This is a must read for any Christian apologist or just anyone who is looking to understand the Bible better.

Faithful to God's Word
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I have been a fan of Bill Mounce since I was taught Koine Greek using Version 2 of his methodology.
He writes in an easy-to-read style that faithfully communicates truth and facts.
I was so impressed with his works that I have purchased several and have used many of his texts--even with the Greek classes that I have taught.
When this new book came out, i was extremely excited because I assumed the same simple yet profound emphasis would exude from this new work.
I was and am correct.
Mounce, in a very positive and supportive way, takes the topic that many make controversial concerning the veracity and trustworthiness of the 66 books we know as the Bible.
He has researched this project well and utilizes the collected wisdom of many modern-day scholars concerning various aspects of ancient texts and translations of the Bible.
He also acknowledges and addresses some of the so-called "wisdom" of a few of the modern-day non-adherants of the Bible. I was very impressed of his handling of these critics and critiques because, as he should, he dealt with them in a very straight-forward manner--affirming their intelligence but not their findings/propositions/conclusions.
I appreciate that--as a pastor, I can strongly recommend this work to adults and older teens in my congregation (all laymen) and that I can trust it as they read it. (In fact, I have already recommended it to some.)
I also appreciate that--as a college/seminary professor, there is sufficient solid material here that I can recommend this to my students and that I can know they are receiving the truth concerning God's Word,
In all honesty, there is probably not enough good that I can say as I recommend this great book.

A must read book for anyone who doubts the bible
Format: Paperback
I was interested to read this book because I was already familiar with the author William Mounce having studied his book, “Basics of Biblical Greek Grammar” and knowing that he was on the oversight committees of the ESV and NIV bible translations so felt I could trust his validity.
His book is based on academic research but written to a nontechnical audience which makes this a great tool to share with anyone who has doubts about the bible. With that said, I found it to be intelligent with a lot of reference material. I didn’t want to skim over any part and read it slowly so I could understand what was being said.
One of the reasons people doubt the bible is they say there are contradictions and errors. There are 2 chapters regarding apparent contradictions. With each contradiction, he addresses it with facts and gives clarity to what could seem confusing.
Other chapters teach on the Historical Jesus, The Canon – how we got 27 books in the NT, Textual criticism, Translations and The Old Testament.
I found this book to be very informative and interesting, one I will keep going back to for reference.

Excellent Read!
Format: Paperback
William Mounce always has a way with bringing things to light clearly, just read his Greek text books and you will see that. His new book “Why I trust the Bible” answers a very important question for Christians. We are to be people of the book, and today many try to cast doubt on God’s words. These attacks on the Word of God come from both the left and right of the issue, atheist and the KJV only crowd.
Mr. Mounce handles the issues with clear and accurate facts. From the reality and deity of Jesus Christ to the reliability of canon we call scripture. Does he have a biased? If he does he tells you, but he also is very pointed at the goal, showing I CAN trust the bible. “Why I trust the Bible” is a great read if you want the facts but don’t want to spend hours reading the arguments in multiple books or websites. Mr. Mounce provides the evidence and the tools for you to dig deeper and see where and what was said for yourself.
I would highly recommend this book as the issue is handled very concisely and with great clarity.
