Latest Biblical Archaeology Research

The Bible is a collection of 66 ancient books written over a period of 1,600 years by about 40 different authors from various countries and cultures. The authors included shepherds, fishermen, soldiers, and farmers. One was a Gentile physician and another was a Jewish rabbi. They wrote about controversial subjects, such as the origin of the universe, the purpose of life, the destiny of humanity, and the way of salvation from the judgment of God. With all that diversity, the cohesion and agreement about these subjects are remarkable and life-changing.
