   Biblical Archaeology that Silences the Critics

   Can archaeology really silence the critics? In this episode of The Bible Sojourner Podcast, Dr. Peter Goeman sits down with Dr. Paul Weaver, author of Faith Affirming Findings: 50 Archaeological Discoveries That Validate the Historicity and Reliability of Scripture, to explore some of the most compelling archaeological discoveries connected to the Bible. Together they discuss discoveries that illuminate the Old Testament, the life of Jesus, and the early church—including evidence connected to Pontius Pilate, the Pool of Siloam, the Politarch Inscription, and many more. Rather than replacing faith, archaeology consistently demonstrates that the Bible is rooted in real history, real people, and real places. These discoveries help answer skeptical claims while strengthening believers' confidence in God's Word. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why archaeology continually affirms Scripture's historical reliability • How discoveries have answered long-standing skeptical objections • Evidence supporting the Old Testament, Gospel accounts, and the book of Acts • What archaeology reveals about Jesus, Paul, and the early church • Why Christians can confidently trust the Bible • How archaeology can strengthen your faith and enrich Bible study Whether you're interested in biblical archaeology, Christian apologetics, or simply want greater confidence in Scripture, this conversation offers both scholarly insight and practical encouragement.
