For Johnny
who first suggested that I should write a book like this.
And for all those like him whose faith needs strengthening or rekindling

God's Truth!
A scientist shows why it makes
sense to believe the Bible

Author's Note

I wish there was space to name all the people who deserve my thanks. But at least I must mention my friends Arthur Gibson, David Godfrey and Harry Whittaker, who went through the first draft with a fine-toothed comb and pointed out all its shortcomings. (Those that remain are not due to their inefficiency, but to my obstinacy!)

Then there is Prof. F. F. Bruce of Manchester University who advised me on the text of chapters 16 to 18, and Mr. Alan W. Fowler of Bridgend General Hospital on the sections dealing with medicine and anthropology.

And I shall never forget how Miss Rita Dyson typed the whole thing twice, and bits of it three or four times, accurately and-believe it or not - cheerfully.

To them and many other willing helpers I owe a great deal. I won't say that I don't know what I should have done without them, because I do know.

I should have failed to produce this book.

Christadelphian Internet Project Webmaster's Note

Two people deserve particular thanks for their contribution to this project. Alan Hayward, the author, who gave me permission to put the book onto the Internet, and John Mallinder who scanned the text in between doing hundreds of other things for the Christadelphians in general!

The text is a word for word copy of the original 1973 UK edition of God's Truth. Many of the references to current affairs need to be updated, but the central message of God's Truth remains: it makes sense to believe the Bible.

TCO Webmaster's Note

Thanks AAM, John and everyone involved in making this work available, and of course Bro. Alan for his excellent writing :)
