Old Testament
Archaeology: Part 1
The Bible and Ancient History Unite
by Chris W. Ashcraft M.S., M.Ed., MTMS.
Description:
The Old Testament of the Bible contains rich and interesting accounts of God's people that span more than 4000 years. However, this important historic record is under attack by critics and archaeologists who have claimed that the Biblical account of history is inaccurate or even fictitious. It has been claimed that the text itself must have been corrupted by scribes who copied the text for thousands of years. In addition, prominent nations mentioned in the Bible like the Hittites and featured events such as the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah have been claimed inventions of the Biblical authors.
This multimedia presentation answers these challenges. When the archaeological evidence is examined, once again we see that science supports the historicity of the Bible.
