WHY HAS EVIDENCE MATCHING THE BIBLE BEEN DISMISSED FOR DECADES? The case against the Exodus appears to be so strong that even some religious leaders are labeling this ancient account as historical fiction. But, many continue to defend the biblical account. Come to your own conclusion by watching many of the world‘s leading experts representing the disciplines of archaeology, Egyptology, history, political affairs, and religion.
TALKING POINTS
THE PROBLEM
- Stats show that over 50% of self-identified born-again Christians who enter college walk away from the church by the time they finish school.
- Trends show that this rate is growing rapidly. One study shows that church attendance could be cut in half within 10 years.
- For many issues, the viewpoints of those inside the church match the general views held by the culture.
The morality of our culture is descending at an alarming rate.
The Source of the Problem – The Perception of the Bible
- A basic shift has occurred – where “God” was once the authority, “man” is now the authority.
- Secular society teaches that the Bible is not credible.
- People are being persuaded to think that they can’t believe the Bible, and doing so would be complete surrender of their intellect.
THE ATTACK ON THE BIBLE
- For more than 50 years the vast majority of the world’s most prominent archaeologists and historians have proclaimed that there is no hard evidence to support the Exodus story found in the Bible.
- The attack centers on the early historical record found in the Bible (from Abraham, the Exodus and Conquest, through Solomon).
- These viewpoints are not coming from a fringe group of scholars. Rather, the vast majority of mainstream archaeologists promote a very skeptical view of the Bible.
- The attack is most intense on university campuses.
- If you can’t trust the Exodus, why would you trust the rest of the Bible?
OUR APPROACH
- NOT a frontal attack that preaches to a world resistant to the truth of God’s Word.
Patterns of Evidence: The Exodus seeks to open a dialog with the world, to be in the center of the argument – not to be overly declarative. - We seek to do this respectfully, in a fair-minded way and allow the audience to choose which views to favor.
- But, we show the evidence that the scholars don’t want the world to see – because it could cause them to shift their long-held positions.
