The Bible as History: Examining the accuracy of the Bible as an historical document.

Did the writers of the Bible accurately record the historical elements? A question asked by even the faithful who want to know if the characters, cities, battles, and events recorded in the Bible are historically accurate. Can the Bible be trusted as more than just a myth or a morality tale? Many in the scientific community say no. Many say the Bible stories were written hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of years after the events they record, so how can we expect them to be accurate? In ‘The Bible as History,’ science, archaeology, and external writings are used to examine the historical accuracy of the best-selling book of all time. This 3rd edition covers more archaeological discoveries and includes updates on several controversial artifacts. New tests and information on the Shroud of Turin, the parting of the Red Sea, the Ossuary of James, and more. Thousands of artifacts from the Holy Lands, along with ancient documents, help confirm that the Bible writers did indeed get it right. In the words of Saint Paul, " Test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good." Discover the accuracy of the Bible as a historical document and open the door to faith with more confidence and understanding than ever before.
