In this episode of Written and Read, we explore an important question about the historical foundation of the Christian faith: are there writers outside the Bible who mention Jesus?

We examine several ancient sources, including Josephus, Tacitus, and Pliny the Younger, and look at what they say about Jesus and the early Christian movement. These writers were not Christians, and in some cases were opposed to Christianity, yet they still confirm key details recorded in the New Testament.

This episode helps demonstrate that the life of Jesus is not only recorded in Scripture but is also grounded in real, verifiable history.

In this episode of Written and Read, we explore one of the most important archaeological discoveries related to the Bible: the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Discovered in 1947 near Qumran, these ancient manuscripts include copies of Old Testament books that date back more than two thousand years. We explain what was found, why it matters, and how these scrolls provide strong evidence for the careful preservation of Scripture.

This episode helps answer common claims that the Bible has changed over time and shows how the Dead Sea Scrolls confirm the reliability of the Old Testament text we read today.

In this episode of Written and Read, we explore a question that often causes confusion: if the Bible is truly God’s Word, why are there so many different translations?

We walk through the original languages of Scripture, the history of Bible translation, and the reasons multiple English versions exist today. Along the way, we address common concerns about whether the Bible has changed and explain how translation actually helps preserve and communicate God’s Word.

This episode helps listeners understand that multiple translations are not a problem, but a blessing that allows God’s Word to be clearly understood across languages and generations.
