SAN DIEGO, March 14, 2023 /Christian
Newswire/ -- Can even the most fantastical stories from the Bible really be
taken seriously as historical events? Christians who are tired of hearing about
how Scripture is unscientific or "Stone Age" now have a tool to help them answer
that question.
In The Word Set in Stone, Catholic apologist Dave Armstrong takes a
methodical, reality-based approach to examining the biblical episodes closest to
Christians' hearts: the creation of the Garden of Eden, Moses' parting of the
Red Sea, and many more. Using rigorous, unbiased, and secular sources from
archaeology and the hard sciences, Armstrong reveals the scientific backing
behind many of the miraculous happenings in the Old Testament, plus a wealth of
historical claims from the New.
In so doing, he shows that Christians don't have to be embarrassed about their
Bible, or distinguish in their minds between the "Bible of faith" and the "Bible
of history."
"It's become something of a cliché among atheists and other secularists to say
the Bible is just a series of fairy tales that science irrefutably contradicts,"
says Todd Aglialoro, director of publishing for Catholic Answers Press. "It can
be hard for Christians to contest these claims, especially when they involve
some of the really singular events in salvation history. But Dave Armstrong puts
these events under a microscope and finds scientific grounding—especially in
archaeology, but in other fields, too—for even the most extraordinary."
