Book Cover & Preview Text
Every day, more and more people turn to the Internet to find answers to their questions about spiritual matters. Topics related to spirituality are the second-most searched subjects online. Sadly, websites that present false teachings far outnumber those that proclaim the truth of God’s Word.
In February of 2002, www.gotquestions.org was launched to help fill this gap and meet the needs of millions of spiritually-minded Web surfers. Since our launch, we have personally answered over 420,000 questions that have been submitted to us. Tens of millions of people have found answers to their questions via our Frequently Asked Questions archives, giving us a unique understanding of what questions are truly on people’s minds.
This volume is a collection of the most important and/or most frequently asked questions about the Bible. Each question is answered directly from the Bible, if the Bible specifically addresses the particular issue. Where the Bible is silent on an issue, biblical principles are used to lead to a solid and correct understanding. The Lord Jesus Christ is our passion, and declaring His Word is our mission.

About the Book
There has never been another book like the Bible. And there never will be. Only the Word of God is “living and enduring” (1 Peter 1:23) and is more precious “than much pure gold” (Psalm 19:10). Only the Bible is “God-breathed” (2 Timothy 3:16).
Being divinely inspired, the Holy Bible deserves our full attention, reverent study, and diligent application. God has spoken, and His words have been written down, preserved, and translated for our eternal benefit.
The Bible answers life’s most important questions, but it also raises questions from many quarters. From the skeptic: “Why should I take stories of miracles literally?” From pastors: “What is the difference between exegesis and eisegesis?” From the neophyte: “Where is a good place to start reading the Bible?” From the merely curious: “What is a shekel?”
Got Questions Ministries has been answering questions about the Bible since 2002. In this book are one hundred of those questions and their Bible-based answers. May you find this volume helpful in understanding the Book, and may you “do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman … who correctly handles the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15).
