It’s an unusual combination: the oldest book and the future.

The Bible is the oldest book and it does hold the key to your future. It explains why God created the world and what he plans for its future. The Bible helps us to make a choice about the sort of future we want.

So, if it is so straightforward, why don’t more people get a grip on their future? The answer is that many doubt that the Bible is true. For some, its very age is a problem. They believe it is a collection of legends and folklore about mythical characters.

The reality is very different. The people and the places in the Bible are very real. You don’t have to go to Israel, Iran or Iraq to see the evidence; there is a lot to look at in London WC1. The British Museum has many inscriptions in both metal and stone, weapons of war, coins, tableware and everyday utensils that back up the Bible record.

Looking at things that have survived for thousands of years shows that the Bible is not about legends and mythical characters, but about real people and real places.
