“A much-needed resource for those serious about biblical studies.” —Mark M. Yarbrough, president, Dallas Theological Seminary The Bible has long been dismissed as a book of myths, legends, fairy tales, and propaganda. Yet when we examine the archaeological evidence, its accuracy comes to light. In Unearthing the Bible, Dr. Titus M. Kennedy presents 101 objects that provide compelling evidence for the historical reliability of Scripture from the dawn of civilization through the early church. Gathered from more than 50 museums, private collections, and archaeological sites, these pieces not only reinforce the reliability of the biblical narratives, but also provide rich cultural insights into the ancient world. Using this visual guide, you can find context for your faith as you make your way through the Bible. Dr. Kennedy’s photographs and detailed descriptions enable you to examine each piece of fascinating evidence for yourself. From the earliest tablets of creation to artifacts connected with the life and resurrection of Jesus, Unearthing the Bible shows you can be confident there is an abundance of archaeological support for the history told in the Scriptures.

An ordained minister originally from the Church of God in Christ but now serving as a Pastor in ministry at Christ Assembly Fellowship. Born 9 of 13 brothers and sisters from the deep south of Georgia to the small alleys of Harrisburg, PA to the low income row homes of the projects it was not always easy ascertaining the Truth. My military career in the United States Navy of 24 years quickly exposed me to a myriad of truths and lies. My first experience concerning the Truth of Scripture was meticulously challenged while serving in the United States Navy. I met a Brother in Christ who was much older than I and who had good understanding and knowledge of the Scriptures. His understanding and knowledge was so good that at 19 years old he impressed me immensely. This Brother became my mentor and most definitely of his Bible knowledge. I did not solicit his guidance but it was one of those things that kept drawing me back to what he had to offer in the way of challenging my faith and Bible knowledge. I remember one question he put to me one day he asked what do you know about December 25th? My QUICK response was - of course - it is the birthday of our Lord and Saviour. But his reply seriously challenged and shattered EVERYTHING I believed. I did not speak to him for quite some time because my parents warned me about people like him. But there was that drawing and wanting to know the Truth that took me back to wanting to know his views that subsequently started me on the path of seeking the knowledge of the Truth. I have not ceased since those days of digging up the Truth about God and His Holy Word.
