Shasta Bible College Professor Tom Meyer, also known as the “Bible Memory Man” recently wrote a book explaining how archaeological finds further validate the Bible.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t need archaeology to prove the Bible’s true,\u201d Meyer recently told CBN News. \u201cThe Bible stands on its own. It\u2019s totally authoritative in all manners.\u201d<\/p>\n
He explained that Christains are often challenged with evangelism and sharing their faith, especially when talking with people who claim that the Bible lacks authority. \u201cYou know how it is if you\u2019re sharing your faith, or you\u2019re evangelizing,\u201d Meyer said. \u201cIf you tell someone, ‘You need to believe the Bible because the Bible says it\u2019s true,’ you’re going to get some pushback.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meyer believes it\u2019s good to know “different apologetics” that direct one to the Gospel, pointing out that archaeology keeps \u201crevealing new information from the pages of the Bible.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBible archaeology has given us a tsunami of evidence that we already know \u2014 that all these people existed,\u201d he said. \u201cBut we have proof of their names. \u2026I think 50 to 100 people [who are] mentioned in the Bible, that person\u2019s exact name \u2014 King David, Isaiah the prophet, King Hezekiah, et cetera \u2014 we found their names and archaeological objects, which\u2026 demonstrates the reliability and the accuracy of Scripture.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also explained about certain finds surrounding King David and his kingdom, adding that there wasn\u2019t clear extra-biblical evidence of King David until 1994.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe found in 1994\u2026 King David\u2019s name on a monument in the gate at Tel Dan, which is the north pole of Israel,\u201d Meyer said. \u201cEver since then, we\u2019ve been getting these little drips and drops of information about King David\u2019s kingdom and et cetera.\u201d<\/p>\n
In 2023, there was another finding regarding some forts built by King David. \u201cWhen they dug in Jerusalem, they found a giant moat,\u201d he said. \u201cA moat that dates from the time of David, a defensive fortification right in the city of Jerusalem.\u201d<\/p>\n
