The most significant stumbling block in Biblical Archaeology is the incorrect belief that the archaeology from Jericho has shown the Biblical story to be false. Dr. Bryant Wood is featured in this new video, due for release in the near future.

The Art of Authentic Forgery posted by Henry B. Smith Jr. MA
