Is it True? by Clive Anderson and Brian Edwards

$2.95

It is True is a very short 48-page work on Biblical Archaeology, showing where secular history records establish the veracity of the Bible in history. These 20 chapters are short and precise defenses and explanations of various points in the Bible that secular “scholars” refuse to accept as fact. The reading of this work is easy and to the point.

Description

Anderson and Edwards take into consideration some extremely difficult questions about the Bible and answer them. Although these chapters very short and highly readable, they are chocked full of information and references, as well as images of the topics under consideration. While some skeptics attack Scripture as “having never happened” and being pure myth, there is a very strong testimony from archaeology to the Bible. This work hits on a number of secular history’s comments on Bible people and events. If you are looking to build up your faith, this is the book for you!
