THE BIBLE IS RIGHT !

For a full 100 years, American, British, French and German scientists conducted excavations in the Middle East, Mesopotamia, Palestine and Egypt.  In all major countries have established institutions and schools engaged in such research. These breathtaking discoveries, of which it is impossible to comprehend at once, have forced us to reconsider our views on the Bible. Many of the events, first considered "religious legends", acquired the status of historical facts. Research results are often matched in detail with Biblical stories. Not only do they support them, but also covered the historic ground, which increased the Old Testament and the Gospel.

No book in human history did not provide such a revolutionary impact, such a decisive impact on the development of the Western world, such a broad response to the world as "the book of books" - the Holy Bible. There is no doubt that the long history of the triumphal procession of only gaining scale.

Is it always right to the Bible? We can answer this question with regard to the fragments, confirmed with non-biblical resources and data of archaeology. In addition, the Bible in any case may qualify for another, more indirect form of innocence: it somehow helps us better understand the thinking and behavior of people past, their teachings, parables, allegories, allusions, symbols and visions. Maybe sooner or later we will be able to understand even the fragments that remain far vague and embarrassing us. And then we say that the Bible is absolutely right!

NOTE: This book was published in 1955. Since then, archaeologists have found a huge amount of new evidence of the truth of the biblical narrative and no rebuttal.
