Archaeology and the Truth of the Bible | Chad Bozarth Show #050 w/Paul D. Weaver, PhD

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Paul Weaver, Associate Professor of Bible Exposition at Dallas Theological Seminary and author of Faith Affirming Findings: 50 Archaeological Discoveries That Affirm the Historicity and Reliability of Scripture. We discuss his remarkable journey from fearing public speaking and planning a business career, to a life-changing year at Word of Life Bible Institute, 13 years teaching at the Bible college in Hungary housed in a former communist castle, and now training future pastors and scholars at Dallas Seminary. We dive into his excellent new book Faith Affirming Findings and explore how biblical archaeology brings the Bible to life, affirms its historical reliability, and strengthens our confidence in Scripture. We cover what biblical archaeology really is, the difference between minimalists and maximalists, powerful discoveries like the Tel Dan Stele confirming the House of David and the Nabonidus Chronicle explaining Belshazzar. We also talk about teaching overseas versus in the US, balancing family and ministry as a husband and father, and why these findings are so encouraging for everyday believers. A must-listen for seminary students, pastors, Bible study leaders, apologists, or anyone wanting to see how archaeology consistently supports the truth of the Bible.
