Do artifacts and documents from thousands of years ago have value in interpreting the Bible?

Well, this week we’ll look at ways we can use these artifacts to clarify biblical passages. But notice I said clarify.

You see, the Bible tells us all Scripture is God-breathed and useful for teaching, correcting, and training in righteousness. Even though Scripture was written by, and often to, specific people during a time in history, the ultimate author is God. He made sure his Word was clear for all people of all times.

So while ancient artifacts are informative and important, we don’t need them to be able to properly interpret Scripture.
