The Bible and Archaeology Series
This is a compilation of the 24-part series presented in the Good News magazine over the past several years. This document is only available as an electronic file. It is not available in print or hard-copy at this time.
The evidence from archaeology is only one proof of Biblical accuracy, and that's the focus of this series of articles. We offer you a sampling of the evidence that's available —documentation showing that details of the people, places and events described in the Bible, many of them mentioned only in passing, have been verified by archaeologists and historians. Many excellent books have been published in recent years that verify the dependability of Scripture, and no doubt more will follow as new discoveries come to light.
What are the implications of this for you? All the evidence in the world does us no good if we are not willing to believe the Bible enough to put it to the ultimate test—that of doing what it tells us to do.
