The Historical Accuracy of Scripture
Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In this discussion, Steve Gregg highlights the importance of establishing the historical accuracy of the Bible as it is the basis of both Judaism and Christianity. The Gospels are viewed as reliable historical sources with independent accounts that agree on key details, and archaeological discoveries have supported many of the Bible's historical claims. While controversies surrounding the accuracy of the Old Testament and New Testament have arisen, the Bible's overall historical verification makes its stories credible events.
