“A fictitious narrative, located in a country with

which the writer is not personally familiar, must

either avoid local allusions or be found frequently

in conflict with the peculiarities of place and of

manners and customs. By this conflict the

fictitious character of the narrative is exposed.”

J.W. McGarvey

“It is important to realize that archaeological excavations

have produced ample evidence to prove unequivocally that

the Bible is not a pious forgery. Thus far, no historical

statement in the Bible has proven false on the basis of

evidence retrieved through archaeologic research.” Keith N.

Schoville

“There can be no doubt that archaeology has confirmed the

substantial historicity of Old Testament tradition.” W.F. Albright
