How Reliable is the Old Testament? (Part I) - Calum Miller

OCCA Courses & Events info in description | When it comes to the historical reliability of the Bible, there may be a myriad of historical evidence to support the New Testament… but what about the Old Testament? In this first video of a three-part series, Calum Miller uses scholarly resources and archaeological evidence to determine historical accuracy of events and places recorded in the Old Testament, such as the Flood and the Tower of Babel.

You may be someone who is curious, sceptical or wanting to learn more about how to prove the existence of God, and our hope is that whatever worldview you hold, you can meaningfully engage with the ideas presented here as we think through the big questions of life and faith together.
