What Is the Bible? (Questions for Restless Minds)
What Is the Bible?
The book that understands you.
Christians are people of the book. But does the Bible still speak today? Can an ancient book still be relevant?
In What Is the Bible?, Graham A. Cole asks why Christians should value God’s word. Fundamentally, God’s word gives light. It reveals God. It also reveals this world. It gives a new perspective on the past, present, and future. And God’s word illuminates you. It knows and understands you better than you do. It doesn’t simply answer your questions; it asks questions of you. It will not leave you unchanged. Learn what makes this book so valued by so many people.

Praise for the Questions for Restless Minds series
“This generation of Christians inhabit cultures that sometimes reject not only biblical revelation about reality but also the reality of reality itself. The Questions for Restless Minds series poses many of the toughest questions faced by young Christians to some of the world’s foremost Christian thinkers and leaders. Along the way, this series seeks to help the Christian next generation to learn how to think biblically when they face questions in years to come that perhaps no one yet sees coming.”
—Russell Moore, public theologian, Christianity Today
If you’re hungry to go deeper in your faith, wrestle with hard questions, and are dissatisfied with the shallow content on your social media newsfeed, you’ll really appreciate this series of thoughtful deep dives on critically important topics like faith, the Bible, friendship, sexuality, philosophy, and more. As you engage with some world-class Christian scholars, you’ll be encouraged, equipped, challenged, and above all invited to love God more with your heart, soul, mind, and strength.
