Thousands of artifacts have been discovered that relate to the Bible, but few of them make the news headlines. Revisionist scholars often seek to undermine and downplay the relevance of many of the discoveries. Experienced archaeologist Dr. David E. Graves has assembled a helpful collection of over 75 significant up-to-date discoveries from the New Testament (NT) period. He tours sites associated with the ministry of Jesus, the missionary journeys of Paul, and the seven churches of Revelation, showing the significant influence of local references, society, architecture, and religion on the peoples of the first century that confirms the historicity of the NT biblical events and shed light on the text. Graves examines NT chronology, archaeological dating, the role of archaeology, NT papyri, manuscripts, codices, and explores the full range of important NT archaeological discoveries, from pottery, inscriptions, ossuaries, through to coins, manuscripts, and other artifacts.
