Credentials, Part 5

The books in this post are two topics:  (1) Christian doctrine and (2) History of the Bible, Bible Versions, Textual Criticism, etc. I have read every one of these from cover-to-cover. For both these topics, I don’t agree with all of them but study them to understand different viewpoints—something necessary for proper apologetics study.
