INSPIRED CONFERENCEScott Carroll

Dr. Scott Carroll, founder and executive director of the National Bible Museum in Texas, is coming to CrossRoad Baptist Church in Ames, Iowa, Nov. 12 and 13, for its Inspired Conference. Many people know the stories in the Bible, but the story of the Bible and how it came to be as it is today is something many don’t know. Questions Dr. Carroll will address include:

What’s the best translation?
Who decided what books made the cut into the Bible?
Why are the Dead Sea scrolls so important?
What exactly is the Torah, and how has it survived evil times?
Can we trust the Bible?
