Paul D. Weaver

Discover fifty historical treasures that will reinvigorate your exploration of the Bible If the Bible is inspired and inerrant, then the archaeological record will affirm it. And it does. In Faith-Affirming Findings, Bible scholar and Dallas Theological Seminary professor Dr. Paul D. Weaver examines fifty of the most important archaeological discoveries that confirm the historical reliability of Scripture. Each discovery--from ancient inscriptions to burial sites--sheds light on the biblical narrative and reinforces the trustworthiness of God's Word. In this intricately designed, 360-page hardcover volume, Dr. Weaver discusses findings such as the "House of David" Stele, the Moabite Stone, Hezekiah's Tunnel, the Lachish Relief, the Cyrus Cylinder, and more. Inside you'll find detailed descriptions of each artifact, site, and its biblical significance, over 100 full-color photos that bring the findings to life, the locations of museums where these artifacts can be viewed, extensive bibliographical resources for deeper study, over 450 footnotes, a glossary, and a biblical passage index, and links to supplemental study material. This comprehensive volume is an interactive learning experience for everyone, whether you are a pastor, teacher, student, or simply someone seeking stronger confidence in the reliability of Scripture. Faith-Affirming Findings will inspire your faith and deepen your understanding of God's Word by demonstrating how archaeology consistently supports the Bible.
