Description
RTB's mission is to spread the Christian Gospel by demonstrating that sound reason and scientific research—including the very latest discoveries—consistently support, rather than erode, confidence in the truth of the Bible and faith in the personal, transcendent God revealed in both Scripture and nature. Their leadership team has reaffirmed a rather unique set of features that distinguishes RTB from other ministries. It's not that other faithful Christian ministries don't share one or more of these same qualities, but RTB embraces all of them together.
