[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1164580, member: 2189"] Well your claims are not quite true to say the least. The archeologist spade is actually raising more reasons to question the bible as historical source. For starters, consider the excellent NOVA program, [URL="http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/bible-buried-secrets/"][COLOR=#ff0000]The Bible's Buried Secrets[/COLOR][/URL]. The BBC did a 3 part series with Professor of Hebrew and Ancient Religion Dr. Francesca Stavrakopoulou entitled [URL="http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrYzzr8yja6ElvrmIXushUF8ub6r7kfid"][COLOR=#ff0000]Bible's Buried Secrets[/COLOR][/URL] in 3 parts. Both raise serious and deep questions about the accuracy of the bible as a historical source. Tel Aviv University history professor Dr. Shlomo Sand has blown open the doors of research in his work, [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Invention_of_the_Jewish_People"][COLOR=#ff0000]The Invention of the Jewish People[/COLOR][/URL] that not unlike Arthur Koestler's early work, The Thirteenth Tribe overturned the historical apple cart. The Jesus Seminar, now known as Westar Institute, is another source worth consideration if one it taking the bible as literal. But in regards to the bible as a historical document, I think Dr. Bart Ehrman does a good job of first explaining what a good historical source document is and then examines the bible in one case as to how good a historical source document it is. And who is [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bart_D._Ehrman"][COLOR=#ff0000]Bart Ehrman[/COLOR][/URL]? [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHJE7cetkB4"]The Case Against the Resurrection (Bart D. Ehrman) - YouTube[/URL] You can also research Burton Mack and Richard Elliot Friedman for their takes on biblical documents. And if you want more, here is a radio interview with Dr. Ehrman on more of the bible as historical source.
