In Christian theology, "inscripturation"refers to the committing to writing of truths revealed by God to inspired men. "Inspiration" is the process by which God through His Spirit illuminated chosen men and granted them unique insight, conveying His revelation to them (2 Peter 1:20-21). Through inscripturation, these revealed truths were permanently laid down in writing, in the books which compose the Old and New Testaments of the Christian Bible. Such a close connection exists between God's conveying revelation to the inspired writers and their committing of this revelation to writing that the written Scriptures are declared to be "God-breathed" (2 Timothy 3:16).

What is 'inscripturation' when translated from English to French?
Inscripturation is the same in English and in French. The feminine singular noun most famously references the process of revelation and inspiration that pastor, reformer and theologian John Calvin (July 10, 1509-May 27, 1564) of Picardy, France, viewed as necessary to avoid the potential errors of a totally oral tradition. The pronunciation will be "leh-skreep-tyoo-ra-syo" in Alsatian French.
How people know the Bible is real?
Technically, you can't know for certain yourself that the Bible is true, because it contains firsthand accounts of certain occurrences, such as the parting of the Red Sea. In order to know for yourself that the story was true, you would have to have been there and seen it happen for yourself, and you can't, obviously.The only thing you can do is trust the sources that tell you the Bible is true: the generations of Jews that each told their offspring the Old Testament's stories; the early Christian Church that put together the first Bible.
