Archaeology - The study of human antiquities - usually as discovered by excavation. (Chambers English Dictionary) These short articles about the Bible and archaeology aim to point the reader to the wealth of information that has literally been unearthed by the spades of patient, dedicated people which helps to confirm the historical accuracy of the Bible - God's Word. Many sites exist in the lands mentioned in the Bible where artefacts of many kinds reveal the life and customs of the people who lived there many centuries earlier. The Bible is often ridiculed and dismissed as being inaccurate and unreliable. However, students of Biblical Archaeology have found that as the science of archaeology becomes more sophisticated, much more evidence is being discovered that says just the opposite! Finds have been made that show us how historically accurate God's Word really is. |

For those of us who have been privileged to visit Israel - God's Land, it is thrilling to look down and examine the shaft that Joab climbed up to take the city of Jebus (later Jerusalem) for King David. (2 Sam 5:7-9 : 1 Chron 11:5-7) It is exciting to wade through King Hezekiah's tunnel, from the spring of Gihon to the pool of Siloam (Silwan). (2 Kings 20:20) It is fascinating to examine the actual scrolls found at Qumram by the Dead Sea and to walk around the Citadel of Jerusalem; the remains of Herod's fortress palace where Christ was paraded, mocked and then condemned by Pilate. (Luke 23:1-25) All of these places give us visible evidence of the accuracy of the Biblical record. |
This series of articles is only a small sample of the information available, but, hopefully, the object will be achieved to direct the reader to further studies of the deeper truths revealed in the Bible. So with your Bible in hand, you are invited to examine the evidence to see whether the work of the archaeologist confirms or denies God's Word.
