The Marvelous Unity Of The Bible

Anyone who is a student of the Bible can readily see the great unity and harmony that exists within the pages of God’s inspired word. Today, it would be virtually impossible to find forty uninspired men, separated by centuries and from all walks of life, to have the ability to write sixty-six books void of contradictions and united in harmony and purpose.

This thought causes us to ask this question: How can we explain the amazing unity of the Bible?

God’s word answers our question in 2 Peter 1:20-21 (ESV) by stating:

“Knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation. For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.”

Many historical events documented by inspired Old Testament writers can be validated as being true by the inspired writers of the New Testament. We can plainly see the authenticity of these events verified in the following list:
