The story behind the story

The Bible expresses God’s truth, right? But does that mean that everything in the Bible is historically and scientifically accurate? Well, some things are and some things maybe not. How then, can we say the Bible is really the written word of God? ELCA Lutherans prayerfully look beyond historical and scientific accuracy to find deeper truths, wisdom and guidance from the Bible.
