Or is it that human reason, as Martin Luther once wrote, “strives not against faith, when enlightened, but rather furthers and advances it.”? Today, we look at the reliability of the Bible and how reason, which can never take the place of faith, can bolster our faith in the veracity of the Scriptures.
