Digging For Truth Episode Four: Daniel-Prophet or Pretender? 4/18/2018 - by Henry B Smith Jr MA MAR

Skeptics claim the Book of Daniel was originally authored in Israel during the Maccabean era (167-164 BC). The evidence from the Dead Sea Scrolls, and other archaeological discoveries refutes this erroneous claim. Daniel was written in the 6th century BC in Babylon. Daniel was able to predict the coming of future, earthly kingdoms, because the Lord God of Israel revealed the future to him. This powerfully demonstrates that the Book of Daniel was inspired by Yahweh.

Jerusalem: The Bible and the Book of Mormon 3/18/2016 - by Joel Kramer

The Bible as a Tool in Archaeology 4/23/2015 - by Joel Kramer

I've spent the last eight years here in Jerusalem studying Biblical Archaeology. When I began, I assumed I'd be studying Archaeology in a way that affirmed the Bible and was in agreement with its teachings. After all, it is called Biblical Archaeology! However, I soon came to understand that although the word "Biblical" is part of its name, the field is secular and always has been.

Temple Mount Flyover 7/21/2014 - by Joel Kramer

Lately my son, Barry, and I have been experimenting with shooting aerial video from a remote control helicopter. The Old City of Jerusalem is a no fly zone. However, we received special permission to video the Jerusalem excavation where I am a staff member. This morning we had one take at flying over the Old City in the early light of dawn. We had a great challenge, though; we couldn't see what the camera saw. We were shooting blind due to a monitor malfunction. As the Bible says, sometimes we have to be blind to truly see.

Is It Time to Throw Away Your Bible? The Exodus from Egypt 6/30/2014 - by ABR Staff

The Potter 6/4/2014 - by Joel Kramer

The months since our return to Israel have been very full. I’ve been blessed to show around several wonderful church groups that have visited. I’ve completed more classes for my Masters in Archaeology. I’ve scouted various new biblical sites. I’ve had adventures that come with living in a foreign country. In it all, I’m afraid the tyranny of the urgent has crowded out some other important areas, and I apologize for the long silence here on the blog! One of my goals for Sourceflix is to show you visuals of what the Bible is talking about. This opportunity presented itself to me again one day while I was driving through the city of Hebron. I spotted a potter sitting at his wheel and stopped to see his work. Watching his hands carefully molding the clay, his foot precisely controlling the speed of his turning wheel, his concentration in applying just the right amount of pressure to reshape the clay and his delighted satisfaction as his object took the shape he desired, I saw with a new clarity my life in God’s hand. He is the Potter, I am the clay. And what is the outcome of yielding myself to His care, His control, His concentration, His pressure? It is His delighted satisfaction! May you be blessed as you yield to the Potter, your Master Creator.

Canaanite Child Sacrifice and Abortion: A Powerful DVD 7/30/2013 - by Henry B. Smith Jr. MA

Join ABR on the Dig in Israel 1/30/2012 - by Henry B. Smith Jr. MA

The location of Joshua's Ai has been a matter of mystery and controversy since the beginnings of archaeological research in Israel. Scholars have concluded that the location of Joshua’s Ai is at et-Tell. They have also used this conclusion to discredit the Biblical account of Joshua 7-8 because there is no evidence of occupation at et-Tell during the time of Joshua. We believe they are incorrect, not the Bible.
