Bible Unearthed

Trends in Archaeology

The view of “Biblical Archaeology” has basically changed according to how the view of the Bible in society has changed, and how the influence of Christianity has changed. Many years ago, most people in the United States thought that the Bible was a book that accurately recorded a lot of historical events, even if they did not believe in the spiritual teachings of the Bible. However, today most people think the Bible is just an outdated book of old ideas and fairy tales that no educated person would believe. Because of this, “Biblical Archaeology” is considered by many to be an obsolete field that is invalid due to its bias. For those who still consider it a legitimate field, many of those scholars instead see the discoveries and research of Biblical Archaeology as primarily finding new evidence or theories which supposedly demonstrate that the Bible is religious propaganda and full of historical errors.
