The reader may rest assured that nothing has been found [by archaeologists] to disturb a reasonable faith, and nothing has been discovered which can disprove a single theological doctrine. We no longer trouble ourselves with attempts to \u201charmonize\u201d religion and science, or to \u201cprove\u201d the Bible. The Bible can stand for itself.<\/p>\n
William F. Albright<\/i><\/p>\n
Through the wealth of data uncovered by historical and archaeological research, we are able to measure the Bible\u2019s historical accuracy. In every case where its claims can thus be tested, the Bible proves to be accurate and reliable.<\/p>\n
Jack Cottrell<\/i><\/p>\n
Archaeology has confirmed countless passages which have been rejected by critics as unhistorical or contradictory to known facts.<\/p>\n
Dr Joseph Free<\/i><\/p>\n
It may be stated categorically that no archaeological discovery has ever controverted a biblical reference. Scores of archaeological findings have been made which confirm in clear outline or exact detail historical statements in the Bible.<\/p>\n
Nelson Glueck<\/i><\/p>\n
The interval between the date of the original composition and the earliest extant evidence becomes so small as to be negligible, and the last foundation for any doubt that the Scriptures have come to us substantially as they were written has now been removed. Both the authenticity and the general integrity of the books of the New Testament may be regarded as finally established.<\/p>\n
Kathleen Kenyon<\/i><\/p>\n
I take the view that Luke\u2019s history is unsurpassed in regard to his trustworthiness.<\/p>\n
Sir William M. Ramsay<\/i><\/p>\n
Luke is a historian of the first rank; not merely are his statements of fact trustworthy; he is possessed of the true historic sense. He seizes the important and critical events and shows their true nature at greater length. In short, this author should be placed along with the very greatest of historians.<\/p>\n
Sir William M. Ramsay<\/i><\/p>\n
I set out to look for truth on the borderland where Greece and Asia meet, and found it there. You may press the words of Luke in a degree beyond any other historian\u2019s and they stand the keenest scrutiny and the hardest treatment.<\/p>\n
