## Resource

Join biochemist Fazale “Fuz” Rana and physicist and theologian John Bloom as they discuss archaeological finds with philosophical implications that point to the reality of God’s existence. Since the 1970s, critical and skeptical academic scholars have vigorously challenged Old Testament historical accounts with archaeological evidence that appeared to contradict the biblical narratives. This episode examines recent archaeological and historical evidence showing that this pessimism is unfounded, and Christians can indeed have confidence in the Bible’s history.
