Moses found by Archaeology???

Evidence for Moses and the Exodus from the actual time that he lived is so limited that many scholars do not believe that he lived, let alone was like the Bible stories. Perhaps this changes, based on a new claim that an ancient inscription actually names Moses. Israeli epigrapher, Michael Bar-Ron claims to have identified just that. It will be quite a while before we will be able to point to this with confidence. A lot of scholarly work will be needed to evaluate this claim. Nevertheless, it is really interesting that this could be true. It also demonstrates that just one verified archaeological discovery could quickly overturn all of the skeptic’s objections to the Biblical accounts. Arguments from silence are always of limited value. We should recognize that it will always require faith to believe that the miracles in the Bible occurred, but new discoveries mean that we can have increased confidence in their historic setting.

Oldest written reference to Moses may be revealed in ancient Egyptian desert inscriptions, researcher says American-Israeli epigraphist interprets ancient inscriptions at Serabit el-Khadim that could be the oldest written mention of Moses, predating the Bible by centuries.

Timelines tell the story: Part 3

Many skeptics claim that the New Testament Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) were written late, perhaps in the 2nd century. That doesn’t hold up and a broad range of scholars from several perspectives agree that they were all written in the 1st century between approximately 50 AD to 90 AD.

I think they probably ranged from about 52 - 80 AD. Here are the important Keys:

1. The Book of Acts ends and was likely written in about 62 AD.

2. The Book of Luke was written shortly before this. (Perhaps 60 AD)

3. Matthew and Luke used Mark as a source.

4. This suggests that Mark was in circulation for some time before Matthew and Luke were written.

5. Mark was a protégé of the Apostle Peter and to give time for this to have occurred, the gospel might have been written 52-55 AD

Regardless of the exact timing, these were written and widely circulated early. This was during a time when many witnesses were alive to have disputed their narratives.
