How God Preserved the Bible
(Christian's Pocket Guide Series)
There is sometimes a gap in the teaching we receive between the inspiration and illumination of Scripture. The Holy Spirit inspired the writing of the Word of God in the first place and applies it to our hearts now. What does the Holy Spirit do in respect of the Bible between these two works? How do we know that the Bible we read today is still the inspired Word of God? Richard Brash grounds his answers to these questions in the doctrines of God and his outer works, especially providence, in this introductory guide to how God preserved the Bible.
Japanese Edition

Press Reviews
This is a wonderfully lucid introduction to a much–neglected doctrine. It will help many to grow in their confidence in the Bible and in their adoration in the sovereign, speaking God.
— Vaughan Roberts, Rector of St Ebbe's, Oxford
This slim but potent book...shows us how to close this gap by looking to the teaching of Scripture itself. This book, written by a true pastor–scholar, will make you marvel...
— R. Carlton Wynne, Westminster Theological Seminary
Brash moved the needle for me. I'm willing to say there is a 'doctrine' of systematic theology called 'the preservation of Scripture.' I wasn't willing yesterday. I am today, after reading this book.
