Challenging Secular Biblical Archaeology
Series Introduction & Menu

by Marshall Beeber

An Introduction
In recent years many Biblical  archaeologists have  abandoned their long held "Biblical-Historical"  approach in research  to a secular one. Some insist the Bible should no  longer be the focus  of the discipline. Many academics now prefer to call  themselves  "Syro-Palestinian archaeologists", thereby disassociating  themselves  from any Biblical ties to their archaeological research.  Despite the  accumlating archaeological and geological evidence  testifying to major  Biblical events, most academics refuse to accept  such evidence since it  contradicts their secular archeological and  geological theories and  jeopardizes their academic standing if they were  to allign themselves  with a traditional Biblical narative.  Nevertheless, numerous  independent reseachers have challenged the  academic establishment with  some success.

Back   in the 1980s, as Syro-Palestinian archaeologists were dismissing the   historical validity of the Bible in their archaeological research, Ron   Wyatt, a Christian biblical archaeologist lacking formal archaeological   training set out to prove the very existence of the biblical events  that  Syro/Palestinian archaeologists had denied.  Though Wyatt's made  some unverifyable claims that damaged his reputation, a number of his  discoveries have been validated and remain very credible to this day.

As   independent researchers challenge secular archaeological theories,   research on "Biblical Flood" geological evidence is challenging the   secular narative as well.  The Genesis account of "Pre-Flood"   civilization is more valid today than ever before with evidence of   "Megalythic" structures whose construction defies all know physical   capabilities.
