Why Do People Reject The Bible?

For a variety of reasons, many remain skeptical and unconvinced concerning claims about the Bible's trustworthiness and divine authorship.

Some of the questions raised regarding the Bible are, on the surface, both reasonable and justifiable, while others are based upon willful ignorance and blind opposition.

Many reject the Bible as the Word of God without even examining the facts.

Some harbor deep reservations about the Bible because they have not been confronted with sufficing proofs to the contrary.

Some reject its divine authorship, without sacrificing a measure of respect for the Bible, as a noble piece of ancient literature or a great religious masterpiece.

Still others challenge the Bible's reliability on superficial grounds.

Their opposition is often based on will-worn arguments, sweeping generalizations, mindless objections, and preconceived prejudices rather than the sound foundation of reason, truth and reality.
