BIBLICAL ARCHAEOLOGY CONFERENCE AT THE ICR DISCOVERY CENTER

The Bible has been God’s Word to His people for millennia, but most people today question whether the events it records are actual history. Every time the Bible’s claims can be tested, however, they stand up to scrutiny. Join us on Friday, November 10th and Saturday, November 11th, as we explore the archaeological evidence for the historicity of the Bible!

Speakers
The Biblical Archaeology Conference will feature renowned Biblical Scholar and Archaeologist, Dr. Randall Price of World of the Bible, and Prof. Tom Meyer, author of Archaeology and the Bible, and a graduate of Jerusalem University College.

Dates: Nov 10, 2023 - Nov 11, 2023

6:45 p.m.	Session 1	Dr. Randall Price	“The Science of Archaeology: How it Aids Creation Research in Giving a Biblical Apologetic”	In this presentation we introduce the science of archaeology and how it can bring evidence from the material culture of the past to confirm the word of the Bible, correct the wording of the Bible, clarify the world of the Bible and complement the witness of the Bible. We will also learn why archaeologists draw different interpretations from the same data and how adopting the proper archaeological worldview can help us deepen our trust in the accuracy and authority of Scripture.

10:30 a.m.	Session 2	Dr. Randall Price	“Genesis and Archaeology: Dual Records of Historical Events”	In this presentation we will see how the Book of Genesis, which records the early history of mankind from Creation to Israel's Patriarchs, is complemented by the archaeological record. We will explore examples from the archaeological evidence of the ancient Near East that support the historicity of Genesis and strengthen our faith that it is an accurate and trustworthy revelation from God.

Prof. Tom will show how the numerous discoveries found at these places clearly tell what we already know to be true, that “thy Word is truth” (John 17:17).
