It\u2019s totally authoritative in all manners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the author said Christians often face challenges when evangelizing and sharing their faith, particularly when interacting with those who don\u2019t believe the Scriptures hold any authority.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know how it is if you\u2019re sharing your faith, or you\u2019re evangelizing,\u201d Meyer said. \u201cIf you tell someone, \u2018You need to believe the Bible because the Bible says it\u2019s true,\u2019 you\u2019re going to get some pushback.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why Meyer said it\u2019s helpful to have \u201cdifferent apologetics\u201d that can be used to point to the Gospel, noting that archaeology keeps \u201crevealing new information from the pages of the Bible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thus, this study of the ancient past helps validate Scripture.
