Archaeology and the Bible

The Bible has been God’s Word to His people for millennia, but most people today question whether the events it records are actual history. Every time the Bible’s claims can be tested, however, they stand up to scrutiny.

In Archaeology and the Bible: 50 Fascinating Finds That Bring the Bible to Life, Tom Meyer covers over 2,000 years of biblical history, from the patriarchs to the early church period. Using discoveries unearthed from those periods, he demonstrates that the Bible’s people and places really did exist and the events it reports really did happen.

Tom has an M.A. in the Historical Geography of Israel and an M.A. in Middle East Culture and Religion from Jerusalem University College. His unique insights into the world of the Bible—its cultures, geography, archaeology, and customs—will equip you with the truth you need to defend the accuracy and reliability of the written Word of God.

The Stones Do Cry Out

"Even though I and those close to me had gone to church our entire lives, we were totally incapable of defending our faith using biblical archaeology that is, until I became equipped and began to teach that indeed the stones do cry out (Luke 19:40).

That, in short, is the aim of this book—not only to praise God that His Word is truth, as wonderfully demonstrated by archaeology, but to equip you, your kids, and your grandkids with the truths you need to defend the faith. So, grab your fedora, your leather jacket, a water jug, and your Bible, and let's embark on an exciting journey to the Holy Land." —Tom Meyer (from the Introduction of Archaeology and the Bible)
