Repeatedly Valued Rather Than Disproven

Generational records; not just written way after the fact. People have appreciated the Bible’s worldview.

Canonized documents were written by or about people who could not have been wildly misrepresented without early rejection.

The canonized prophecies are those that came true.

The Last Old Testament Documents…

• One post-exilic history (1 & 2 Chronicles)
• Survival & Recovery under Persian Rule
• Last Prophecies before 300 years without revelation.

The New Testament Documents…

• Canonized writings were limited to those by Jesus’ Apostles and 3-4 of their associates.
• All documents had some acceptance by AD 100.
