Archaeology and the Bible

Critical scholars of the nineteenth century focused upon supposed ‘contradictions’ and ‘errors’ of fact to be found in the Bible.  During the fist half of the twentieth century, archaeological discoveries supported the presentation of fact found in many places of the Bible that previously had been challenged.  At the end of World War II, scholars held the Bible to be much more trustworthy than they had believed at the beginning of the century.
