The Persian Wars may be famed in history, but few artifacts and material remains have emerged
The opening line from this article caught my eye this morning because I am currently working on a seminar discussing The DaVinci Code. One comment that always fascinates me is that the Bible is not a historically accurate document.
Now I know postmodern apologists (is there such a thing?) are not terribly concerned with the historicity of the Bible. This concern smacks of foundationalism. Yet at some point we must argue that there is some historical integerity to the Bible.
And the evidence for the historical reliability far out paces the evidence for the Persian Wars. Yet who would doubt the reality of the Persian Wars?
