How can material remains uncovered from the ancient world illuminate the biblical text and affirm the historical reliability of Scripture? Milyce Pipkin and Darrell L. Bock are joined by professor Paul D. Weaver and archaeologist Titus Kennedy to discuss key archaeological discoveries—from the Tel Dan Stele and the Nabonidus Cylinder to ancient inscriptions in Egypt and Cyprus—and explore how digging into the dirt bridges the gap between material culture and biblical studies. Join them as they examine the distinction between proving and affirming faith, unpack the meticulous process of archaeological excavation, and discover how material finds enrich our understanding of the Bible’s cultural world.
