The historical reliability of the Bible has been vindicated by many years of archaeological discoveries. Over and over again the arguments of sceptics have been proved groundless in the light of new research. One of the most famous archaeologists, Sir William Ramsay, was convinced that the New Testament was historically suspect, and that the record of the early Church in the Book of Acts was incorrect. During 15 years of excavations in the Middle East, Ramsay changed his view completely, becoming convinced of the reliability of the New Testament. He later became a Christian, and published many books about his discoveries.

More recently, non-Christian archaeologist David Rohl carried out detailed research into Old Testament history, especially as it related to the time when the Israelites were living as slaves in Egypt. Although many modern scholars had dismissed the Biblical record as unreliable, Rohl, who never set out to prove the accuracy of the Bible, has produced startling evidence that the Biblical record is accurate. His research has been featured on UK television, and he has written several books about it. In a review of A Test of Time: the Bible from Myth to History, the "Daily Mail" commented, 'The Bible, it seems, is back in business.'
