Watch Jerusalem

Some believe that the Bible is a fictional book, perhaps with only a few names and cities that have been validated through archaeology. This is simply untrue. Hundreds of biblically significant artifacts have been found throughout the last century and an half—and particularly in the last few decades. Many dozens of biblical figures—kings, pharaohs, officials, prophets—have been substantiated through archaeology. Not only does archaeology validate snippets of the Bible, but more accurately, entire stories. Such is the case with King Hezekiah—one of Judah’s greatest rulers. On Today’s program, Host Brent Nagtegaal interview archaeologist Christopher Eames about the connections between King Hezekiah’s life and connected artifacts from three nations.
