The subject of Biblical archaeology is a vast one, so it will be necessary to confine comments here to only a few of the multitude of cases in which archaeological discoveries have vindicated Biblical claims. At many times in the past, scholars have assumed the Bible to be inaccurate until new archa...

There are many forms and expressions of Hinduism. Associated with Hinduism are at least several hundred images of God. Houston Smith has written of these images: Valued as ends in themselves these could, of course, usurp God's place, but this is not their intent. . . . It is clumsy to confuse Hindu...

The accuracy of the present-day Hebrew version of the Old Testament is a result of the fastidious care with which the Sopherim and the Masoretes transmitted it. The Sopherim copied manuscripts of the Hebrew Scriptures from about 300 B.C. until A.D. 500. According to the Talmud, they came to be calle...

The Christian Origin of Science becomes quite clear when we study the history of science, and we see that until very recently, scientists interpreted the data in light of the Bible. Until the time of Darwin, biologists were creationists, and until the time of Charles Leyell, geological data were int...

Buddhism was spawned in a Hindu environment, and therefore has some similarities to Hinduism. Just as is the case for Hinduism, there are countless forms and expressions of Buddhism. Many of the same criticisms that are used against Hinduism have been used against Buddhism. "Buddha" is a word which ...

Another powerful testimony to the truth of the Christian Gospel is the fact that millions of people's lives have been changed radically by the power of Christ. Alcoholics have been delivered, drug dependencies have been cured, cowards have found courage, and selfish people have found new meaning in ...

The New Testament writers recognized their own writings as Scripture. Paul, in II Corinthians 3:5,6 states that his competency comes from God. In fact, according to Paul, the very words that he used were taught by the Spirit: This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in word...

It should be evident from the foregoing study of God's judgement upon sin in history that Biblical principles have been in effect, not just during the time that the Bible was written, but at all times. Further evidence of this is available in any study of the providence of God in history. Some of th...

The Scopes Trial of 1925 has made an almost indelible impression upon the consciousness of modern Americans as an indication of the hopelessly anti-intellectual, obscurantist, and bigoted nature of "Fundamentalism," or the literal belief in the Bible. However, the image that most of us have of the t...

A great deal has been written about the theology of the various Christian cults, with a view to demonstrating how they veer off from true Christian orthodoxy.1 While it is important to be aware of the heterodox nature of the theology of many of these cults, the discussion is often left here, as thou...

Heretics, Jews, pagans, and Christians all inadvertently confirm the trustworthiness of the Bible by their incidental references to many of the same things to which the Bible refers. One of the most exhaustive studies of this topic was done by Thomas S. Millington, in his book, The Testimony of the ...

The fulfillment of the prophecies of the Bible is a vast subject. In fact, the Messianic prophecies alone have provided enough material for the publication of many books. Other books have been written solely about the Old Testament prophecies concerning certain cities or about certain world empires,...
