Drawing from the questions he has heard from believers and nonbelievers around the world, R. A. Torrey discusses many Bible controversies, including "Is there an opportunity for salvation after we die?" "Did Jonah really live in the belly of a whale?" "Did Jesus commend the unjust steward?" "Does the Bible contradict itself?" "Where did Cain get his wife?" and "Does God change His mind?" Those who have questioned the authenticity of the Bible or wondered about certain passages will find here an exploration of the truth and real facts of God's Word.
