Can historical events recorded in the Bible be trusted? Join us as we explore this intriguing question, examining key figures like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, and Joshua through the lens of archaeological evidence. You'll learn about significant artifacts such as the Merneptah Stele and the Ugaritic texts, which provide fascinating insights into the historical and cultural contexts of these biblical narratives. Despite the challenges posed by material degradation over millennia, discover how the existing corroborative evidence aligns with the biblical accounts, suggesting their reasonable trustworthiness.

In our discussion, we dive into how hieroglyphics from Egypt and excavated locations mentioned in Scripture add layers of authenticity to these ancient texts. From the consistency of place names and name styles across different eras and regions to the geographical logic of biblical travel sequences, we cover it all. We conclude with notable archaeological findings like Hebron's wall that bolster the historical credibility of these texts. Tune in for a compelling journey through history, archaeology, and faith that challenges you to weigh the evidence reasonably and consider the trustworthiness of biblical accounts.
