THE BIBLE ON TRIAL – The Bible … how could it possibly be accurate? How can you know? What about this book that has compelled people to give their lives to defend its claims? The validity of the Bible has been questioned for ages and still remains an intriguing subject that has a proven ability to attract audiences! “The Bible on Trial” from Envoy Productions takes a unique look at the subject and presents facts about the most widely printed book in history. Internationally recognized experts of ancient texts, archaeological and other related disciplines illuminate the efforts taken throughout history to ensure the integrity and significance of this ancient text. The “Bible on Trial” invites viewers to be the jury in this case. There will be a special showing of this compelling program on KDLT, the NBC affiliate from Sioux Falls today and also on June 19th immediately following Main Street Living. This program is sponsored by the Lutheran Laymen's League of South Dakota, and the LWML.
