Skeptics have long questioned whether the Bible is historically trustworthy — but what does the evidence actually say? Richard Bargas welcomes Dr. Paul Weaver, Associate Professor of Bible Exposition at Dallas Theological Seminary and author of Faith-Affirming Findings, to Advancing the Cause for a compelling conversation at the intersection of faith, history, and archaeology. Together they'll explore what it really means for archaeology to corroborate Scripture, whether a researcher with faith commitments can be truly objective, and how physical evidence from the ancient world both challenges and deepens the way we read God's Word. Along the way, Dr. Weaver will unpack one or two remarkable discoveries — artifacts pulled from ancient soil that place the biblical narrative in vivid historical context — and reflect on what they mean for believers seeking deeper confidence in Scripture and for skeptics willing to follow the evidence. This is a conversation that will equip you to engage a doubting world with greater clarity and conviction.
