When Stones Speak: Archaeology and the Historical Reliability of the Bible

From the fallen walls of Jericho to inscriptions bearing the name of King David, archaeology has repeatedly intersected with the biblical record in unexpected ways. This reading surveys key discoveries across the ancient Near East that illuminate the historical context of Scripture—examining what was found, when it was uncovered, and how it aligns with the biblical narrative. Rather than arguing theology, it traces evidence in soil, stone, and inscription, offering a grounded look at where archaeology has corroborated, clarified, or sharpened our understanding of the Bible’s historical claims.
