Difficulties in the Bible

Drawing from the questions he has heard from believers and nonbelievers around the world, R. A. Torrey discusses many Bible controversies, including "Is there an opportunity for salvation after we die?" "Did Jonah really live in the belly of a whale?" "Did Jesus commend the unjust steward?" "Does the Bible contradict itself?" "Where did Cain get his wife?" and "Does God change His mind?" Those who have questioned the authenticity of the Bible or wondered about certain passages will find here an exploration of the truth and real facts of God's Word.

Reuben Archer Torrey (1856--1928) is respected as one of the greatest evangelists of modern times. Several years after his graduation from Yale Divinity School, he was selected by D. L. Moody to become the first dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. Under his direction, Moody Institute became a pattern for Bible institutes around the world. Dr. Torrey spent the years of 1903-1905 in worldwide revival campaigns, winning thousands of souls to Jesus Christ. He continued worldwide crusades for the next fifteen years while he served as the dean of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles and pastored the Church of the Open Door in that city. Torrey longed for more Christian workers to take an active part in bringing the message of salvation through Christ to a lost and dying world. His straightforward style of evangelism has shown thousands of Christian workers how to become effective soulwinners.
