How Were The Books Of The Bible Chosen? (2 of 5)
Series: How Do We Know for Sure That the Bible Is God's Word?

Going back to the Old Testament times, even hundreds of years before Moses, men knew how to write. You will find that hundreds of years before Moses that the Egyptians left us writings called hieroglyphics on rocks. Early man wrote on metal, he wrote on stone, he wrote on papyrus, which was a type of plant when dried ...
