Best Answer

The Bible is accurate in concordance to history to the very last detail.

Another perspective:

Many Christians believe that the Bible is a record of the experiences and understandings of people of faith through many ages. It is not a historical record of actual occurrences. For example, Joshua 10: 12-14 describes the sun standing still while the people of Israel kill their enemies. At that time, people believed the sun circled the earth, which, of course, it does not. The story does not record scientifically accurate fact, but the astonishing experience of a people who felt as God stopped time to allow them to win their battle. It is a story about faith and triumph, not about the movement of the sun and moon. By reading the Bible in this way, we learn who God is and who we are in the community of faith, in relation to God.

Compare and contrast archaeology and ethinography as sources of history?

Archaeology involves studying material remains to understand past societies, while ethnography involves studying present-day cultures through participant observation and interviews. Both provide valuable insights into different aspects of history, with archaeology focusing on material culture and physical landscapes, and ethnography focusing on social practices and beliefs. Combining findings from both fields can offer a more comprehensive understanding of past and present societies.

How do you tell the Bible is true?

The Bible wasn’t written to teach science or to be a school textbook, but what it says about scientific matters is always accurate. When the Bible talks about history, it is always accurate.The fact that so many Bible prophecies have already come true means that we can trust what the Bible says about the future. The Bible can change your life. It can help you to know who you really are. It can help you to understand your deepest thoughts and feelings. Truly the Word of God.
