Overview

Discover fifty historical treasures that will reinvigorate your exploration of the Bible

If the Bible is inspired and inerrant, then the archaeological record will affirm it. And it does-as Bible scholar and Dallas Theological Seminary professor Paul Weaver demonstrates. While biblical archaeology can neither prove nor disprove the main tenets of the Christian faith, its findings do support Scripture’s historical credibility. Faith-Affirming Findings presents the fifty discoveries from the ancient world that are most relevant for students of the Bible. Among these are:

• the “House of David” Stele,
• the Moabite Stone,
• Hezekiah’s Tunnel,
• the Behistun Relief,
• the Jesus Boat,
• and more.

Through images of these important artifacts and sites, discussions of what they demonstrate about the ancient world, and reflections on their relationships to the Bible, readers will grow in their confidence that Scripture is reliable. Faith-Affirming Findings promises to be a valued and encouraging resource for those committed to studying the Bible. The text also contains links to video and audio material specific to each discovery
