This article considers the reliability of the New Testament, in light of recent attacks on the infallibility of the Bible.

The author's concern in this article is having a good understanding of truth and the nature of truth. He reminds his readers that a biblical concept of truth is a complex of faithfulness, firmness, reliability, honesty, integrity and consistency. In the process, he gives a defence of a biblical understanding of truth against the attacks of Friedrich Nietzsche.

Questions around the reliability of the Bible have arisen throughout history. The author of this article maintains that the church must confess the inerrancy, or infallibility of scripture even while she acknowledges its human authorship.
