Authority of ScripturesSteve Gregg
In "Historical Accuracy of the Bible," Steve Gregg argues that the Bible's historical accuracy can be confirmed through external historical sources and archaeology. While some scholars may doubt the historical accuracy of the Bible, Gregg maintains that their opinions do not reflect the consensus among experts in the field. Furthermore, Gregg cites various archaeological discoveries, such as the inscription of King David's name and references to King Solomon's Temple, as evidence that the Bible may be historically accurate.
