How are the books categorized? Which books fall into each genre?
When/how are the books used by the Church (e.g. in the Lectionary)
Who wrote these books?
What is inspiration? What does it mean that the Holy Spirit "wrote" the Bible?
Station 2: Where did the Bible come from?
What is canonization? Who decided which books go into the OT? And the NT?
What about translation? Do some things get lost in translation? Are some translations better than others?
What about chapters and verses?
How do we know that we have the right words that were actually spoken by Christ?
Idea
This station can be presented as a "museum" or a "showroom" that includes several archaeological findings that support details written in the Scripture, as well as some examples of manuscripts
Station 3: Do the Gospels contradict themselves?
Why is there differences between the Gospels? Does that affect the authenticity of the Gospels?
Did the Lord Jesus cleanse the temple on Sunday or Monday?
Did the Maries go to the tomb while it is dark or at dawn?
etc.
Station 4: Does the Old Testament contradict the New Testament?
Is God, "a man of war" (Exodus 15:3) or "the Lord of peace" (2 Thessalonians 3:16)
How are we to understand the stories that take place in Joshua and Judges? Did God really command them to kill whole cities?
This stems from a common attack nowadays which takes difficult passages like those in the Book of Judges and asks for an explanation, or takes some verses out of context to present a distorted image
