A Palestinian farmer recently discovered an ancient artifact linked to a Canaanite idol from Old Testament Times.

As the Apostle Peter claimed, Christianity is not rooted in “cleverly devised myths,” but in the real account of actions in the real world. Bits of lead and clay in the dirt will never ultimately prove the Bible’s claims to the satisfaction of all skeptics, but day after day, more evidence emerges that its claims should be taken seriously by not only archeologists and historians, but all of us. In Holy Scripture, something special is indeed going on.

The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) announced on Sunday that a Megiddo prison will be relocated because of an ongoing excavation of an ancient mosaic dedicated to Jesus Christ.

A new discovery from Israel involving an ancient tablet could be one of the most significant archaeological finds in modern history, not only affirming the biblical text but supporting a traditional, conservative understanding of the Old Testament timeline.

To put it bluntly, the Bible is not anti-science. Rather, the Bible explains why science works. And, every once in a while, the Bible offers an insight that sheds further light on an unsolved question of science. That seems to be the case with the Assyrian destruction of Lachish, an event recorded in the book of Kings. The accurate Biblical accounting of this event has provided scientists with a reliable anchor from which to better answer two tricky dilemmas: one having to do with geophysics and the other with archeology.

Israeli archeologists have discovered a rare 1,700-year-old gold ring that includes an image of a shepherd that is thought to represent Jesus and likely belonged to an early Christian, the Israel Antiquities Authority said this week.

Archaeologists in a Cambridgeshire village have uncovered rare skeletal remains of a man with a nail through his heel. Some believe the remains could be the first example of a Roman crucifixion in the United Kingdom.

Archaeologists in Israel say they have found a 2,000-year-old synagogue in the Galilee region.

Israeli archaeologists have uncovered the remains of an ancient building linked to the time of the Sanhedrin.

An 11-year-old girl in Jerusalem uncovered a silver shekel coin that archeologists believe could have been minted by a priest in the Temple Mount 2,000 years ago.
