Archaeological investigations during the course of the 20th century have consistently supported the historical accuracy of both the Old and New Testaments. As archaeologist Nelson Glueck has written: “It may be stated categorically that no archaeological discovery has controverted a biblical reference.” And he states that scientific investigation has revealed “the almost incredibly accurate historical memory of the Bible, and particularly so when it is fortified by archaeological fact.”
During the three years of his public ministry, Jesus Christ was unequivocally rejected by the learned, by the scholarly, by the academes of his day. It was, in fact, his very claim to be the Son of God that led them to condemn him to death.
For those who wish to better understand the sound basis of scriptural teachings, I sincerely recommend Josh McDowell’s landmark work: Evidence That Demands a Verdict. It is a clear and intelligent analysis of Biblical claims written for those who want more than blind faith to support their yearning to know the God of the universe.
