A New Approach... Book

"After a century of excavations trying to prove the ancient accounts true, archaeologists say there is no conclusive evidence that the Israelites were ever in Egypt... or ever conquered the land of Canaan under Joshua's leadership. To the contrary, the prevailing view is that most of Joshua's fabled military campaigns never occurred...." -L.A. Times, 2001

A Compelling Case for an Overlooked Millennium in Traditional Biblical Chronology

A New Approach to the Chronology of Biblical History from Abraham to Samuel gives you the answer to one of the most damaging attacks on the historicity of the Bible. It explains the truth about archaeology and the Israelite Exodus---the Exodus most scholars say never happened. Dr. Aardsma handles archaeological and chronological data with respect and competence. The evidence is delivered to you in a scholarly, logical, and stimulating presentation, upholding and strengthening belief in the historical accuracy of the Bible. A New Approach... will give you solid answers for those who declare that the Bible is historically false.
