Welcome to the
Biblical Archaeology page!
This will be a page dedicated to the
use of archaeology as it uncovers the historicity of the Biblical text.
As I tell each of the groups who travel with me to Israel, archaeology
is used not needing to prove the Bible's historicity, but to
reveal the context in which the history of both the Hebrew and
Christian Scriptures take place. The Bible does not need
"proving." Archaeology is used to enlighten it's accuracy.
In a remarkable way, it sheds light on the stories of the Scriptures,
without contradiction.
Dr. Bryant Wood, evangelical
archaeologist, says it best,
“In every instance where the findings of archaeology
pertain to the Biblical record,
the archaeological evidence confirms, sometimes in
detailed fashion, the historical
accuracy of Scripture. In those instances where the
archaeological findings seem to
be at variance with the Bible, the discrepancy lies with
the archaeological evidence,
i.e., improper interpretation, lack of evidence,
etc.—not with the Bible.”
(Dr. Bryant C. Wood, archaeologist, Associates for
Biblical Research)
"Historical, Biblical, and Archaeological Background"
This will
be my approach as I share the historical, Biblical, and archaeological
background of many of the archaeological sites (and regions) in Israel and other lands
of the Bible (e.g. Jordan & Egypt) that we travel to during our tours. Feel free to use these pages for your personal study
of God's Word.
It
is my prayer that these
pages will bring you a fuller appreciation of the world of the Bible. Follow the links
below to the sites and regions that we see on our tours (the regions
are identified by "... ").
