The reliability of the bible
1.
2. From the Council for British Archaeology:
“Archaeology is the study of the material
remains and environmental effects of
human behaviour: evidence which can
range from buried cities to microscopic
organisms and covers all periods....
Archaeology links with many
subjects, including
geography, history, social
sciences, maths, physics, biology, chemis
try, art, religion, and technology”
3. What can it do?
› Prove that places and people in Bible history
existed
› Provide some background to the Bible
records
What it can’t do
› Prove that the history actually happened
› Prove that the miracles of Bible history
occurred
4. Does support the biblical record
BUT
FAITH is still required on the part of a
believer
Of course, if archaeological finds
contradicted the Bible, it could
undermine faith! This has never
happened, however
5. Great cities and empires mentioned in
the Bible, have been found and their
grandeur revealed, through the labours
of the archaeologist
6. Here are just a few of the places which
once the critics denied existed, but
which the spade of the archaeologist
has uncovered....
15. Whilst researching for this talk, I found the
following website by a certain Professor
Keith N. Schoville, listing as he sees it, the
top 10 Archaeological findings of biblical
interest in the 20th Century......
16. The importance of this find cannot be
overstressed. As we just read, every
book of the Hebrew scriptures, our Old
Testament, is represented, except for the
short book of Esther.
This find had the ability to make or break
the reliability of scripture. Either it had
been reliably preserved during the 1,000
years the scrolls take us back, or it had
not!
17. Having looked at these examples, you
can see just how amazingly well
preserved these scriptures are!
Due to lack of vowel points in the Dead
Sea scrolls, as supplied in the Masoretic
text, there are many interesting variant
readings
HOWEVER, THE PRESERVATION OF
SCRIPTURE HAS BEEN DIVINELY
OVERSEEN!!
18. The Galilee boat.
› Known colloquially as “The Jesus boat”

23. Mounts Ebal & Gerizim – the Mts of blessing
and cursing!
24. We have looked at just a few examples of
the amazing finds of the
Archaeologist, which support Bible history
They help to make Bible history live, to make
it real for us
They show us how reliable the Bible is
WHAT YOU NOW NEED TO DO IS TO STUDY
IT, SO AS TO FIND A PURPOSE IN LIFE AND A
CERTAIN HOPE FOR THE FUTURE. GOD BLESS
YOU IN THIS!
