Archeologists have finally proven the Bible's accuracy once again.
The skepticism that arose in the 1800's cast doubt on the biblical account on the grounds that many events and place names could not be proven or verified by archeology.

Dr. Stephen Jones has been writing blog posts since 2005 on a variety of topics from Bible Studies to World News, and he has been writing books since 1992.

It is here that all his earlier years of searching the Scriptures began to come into clear focus. He combines a knowledge of the Old and New Testaments with a personal revelation of God that began and developed during the "wilderness" period of his life, which he often refers to as God's True Bible College...
