Building the Bible (2 Timothy 3:10-17)

As we bring our Deep Questions sermon series to a close, it occurs to me that perhaps this question, which was answered last, should have been answered first.  After all, it addresses the question of the validity of the Bible - our holy scriptures which we hold fast to as the very inspired word of God.  Now, for the past 150 years or so, the validity and veracity of the Bible has been under attack.  Most recently, Dan Brown's book "The DaVinci Code" puts forth the notion that the Bible was actually assembled by the pagan emperor Constantine.  But as we will see in today's lesson, God's word is secure and reliable, because we know where it came from and who wrote it, and why.
