The Importance of Accuracy in the Study of the Words of Scripture

This is the second study Bullinger wrote on this topic, appearing in 1916 in Part II of How to Enjoy the Bible. The first study appeared in 1915 as a pamphlet and has been republished by the OBT as a booklet entitled The importance of accuracy in the study of Scripture. This second study may not be an 'easy read' for some but we hope it will help the reader to appreciate why Bullinger’s scholarship and attention to detail is still valued by many today.

If you have any difficulty in answering, aids and hints are giving in parentheses after the question, but answers are given in Michael Penny's The Manual on the Gospel of John, also available from the OBT.

Did Jesus of Nazareth Actually Exist?

Bertrand Russell in his essay Why I am not a Christian stated: "Here I may say that one is not concerned with the historical question. Historically it is quite doubtful whether Christ ever existed at all, and if He did we do not know much about Him, so that I am not concerned with the historical question, which is a very difficult one."

In this free download (which originally appeared as a series of articles in Search Magazine - click here to go to the August 2003 edition) the author disputes Russell's statement by exploring the wealth of historical evidence relating to Jesus of Nazareth. A variety of evidence is studied: Clearly the Bible is the major historical source for the existence of Jesus Christ, but it is not the only one and we shall look at others first. There are references to Him in both ancient Jewish and Gentile histories.
