Is the Bible historically reliable, or is it just a collection of myths and legends?

In this episode of Practical Apologetics, we examine the historical credibility of the Bible through three key areas:

• Archaeological evidence
• Textual preservation
• Internal unity

We look at discoveries such as the Tel Dan Inscription referencing the “House of David,” the Nabonidus Cylinders confirming Belshazzar in Daniel 5, the Pilate Inscription, the Pool of Bethesda, and the manuscript evidence of the Dead Sea Scrolls and New Testament documents.

Rather than assuming inspiration, we ask a historical question:
Does the evidence support the Bible’s reliability?

Sources referenced in this episode include:

• F.F. Bruce — The New Testament Documents: Are They Reliable?
• Josh McDowell & Sean McDowell — Evidence That Demands a Verdict
• William Lane Craig — Reasonable Faith
• Norman Geisler & Frank Turek — I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist
• Daniel B. Wallace — New Testament manuscript scholarship

Remember, faith isn’t believing without evidence.
It’s trusting where the evidence leads.
