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 "... ").
