Final Word Why We Need the Bib

The Bible is under attack on all sides. Unbelievers denounce it as backward, narrow-minded, and intolerant, and even some professing Christians deny its truth to gain approval from the culture. With each assault, we hear echoes of the serpent’s question in the garden of Eden: “Did God really say?” Unfortunately, many believers don’t know how to answer these challenges and find their confidence in God’s Word shaken.

In Final Word: Why We Need the Bible, Dr. John MacArthur defends the trustworthiness of Scripture, with the goal of equipping the church to stand firm for the truth even when others abandon it. Only when God’s people recognize the Bible for what it is—God’s inerrant, authoritative Word—will they be able to fulfill their calling and carry the message of God’s salvation to the world.

Dr. John MacArthur is pastor-teacher of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, Calif., where he has served for nearly fifty years. He is also president of The Master’s College and Seminary and featured teacher on Grace to You, a radio program airing in dozens of countries. He has written numerous books, including The Gospel according to Jesus, Charismatic Chaos, Faith Works, and Ashamed of the Gospel.

Dr. MacArthur and his wife, Patricia, have four married children and fifteen grandchildren. They live in Southern California.
