I recently spent some time in Chattanooga speaking to various groups about the authority of Scripture. I spoke to college students from RUF at the University of Tennessee (Chattanooga) and Covenant College about “Five Misconceptions about the Origins of the New Testament.”

Then I spoke to [Alternate Seminary](http://www.altsem.org/) on “How Do We Know the Bible is God’s Word?” Alternate Seminary is doing some great work training African American pastors and leaders. Here is a twitter post from my visit there:

Then I gave two lectures at North Shore Fellowship (PCA), kindly hosted by senior pastor Robby Holt. Those two lectures are available for download:
