Unfortunately, church often teaches people that they should not ask certain questions. But Bill insists that we should have freedom to ask all questions in the church. This book is to help equip parents and church leaders to answer those questions.
When people say the Bible is full of errors, Bill asks: “show me one.” He knows that they are just parroting what they heard in class or on cable channels.
For Bill doubt is not the opposite of faith; instead doubt helps us to learn. Faith often grows and succeeds through genuine doubts.
Bill is president of BiblicalTraining.org, a non-profit organization offering excellent educational resources to local churches.
Dr. Mounce has been an educator, a pastor, a writer, a Bible translator (English Standard Version and New International Version) and is affectionately known as “Mr. Greek” to hundreds of thousands of his students who have used his Greek textbook, Basics of Biblical Greek.
In his lecture at the Lanier Library in April 2022) he met head on the challenges people often face when thinking about whether they should trust the Bible.

Steve Ortiz (PhD) directs the Lanier Center for Archaeology at Lipscomb University in Nashville, Tennessee. Since he was a young man, he has been digging up Israel and teaching students what archaeology has to teach us about the Ancient Near East and the world of Scripture. Steve fell in love with archaeology as a young boy and with the guidance and encouragement of his father, he has made it his life long pursuit.
In this podcast he talks about his own archaeological adventures as well as the mission of the Lanier Center for Archaeology. Dr. Otiz and his colleague, Tom Davis, have the most vibrant and important school for training others in how and why we do these excavations. They are currently recording inscriptions in Egypt and excavating sites in Israel with other schools and universities.
The artifacts left behind by civilizations is referred to as ‘material culture. The material culture of the Bible has a great deal to teach us about the world of Abraham and his kin.
