Description



Book Synopsis



Discover fifty historical treasures that will reinvigorate your exploration of the Bible

If the Bible is inspired and inerrant, then the archaeological record will affirm it. And it does--as archaeologist and Bible professor Paul Weaver demonstrates. While biblical archaeology can neither prove nor disprove the main tenets of the Christian faith, its findings do support Scripture's historical credibility. Faith-Affirming Findings presents the fifty discoveries from the ancient world that are most relevant for students of the Bible. Among these are

  • the "House of David" Stele,
  • the Moabite Stone,
  • Hezekiah's Tunnel,
  • the Behistun Relief,
  • the Jesus Boat
  • and more.

Through full-color images of these important artifacts and sites, a discussion of what they demonstrate about the ancient world, and a reflection on their relationship to the Bible, readers will grow in their confidence that Scripture is reliable. Faith-Affirming Findings promises to be a valued and encouraging resource for those committed to studying the Bible. The text also contains links to video and audio material specific to each discovery.



Review Quotes




Faith-Affirming Findings by Paul Weaver is so much more than a book or even a library of instructional videos. It's a passport that will give you unrestricted access to fifty essential archaeological discoveries. It's a trowel that will allow you to mine treasures of the past and relevantly apply them to our present and future. And most importantly, it's a foundation that will help you build to new heights your personal confidence in the historic reliability of God' Word. While I don't believe it's possible to reason someone into our faith, I am confident our faith is indeed reasonable. I personally can't wait to share Paul's meticulously researched insights with those I teach, and I encourage you to join me in this worthy pursuit.--Dr Phil Tuttle, President, Walk Thru the Bible (9/16/2025 12:00:00 AM)

Faith-Affirming Findings is a clear, useful, and interesting presentation of ancient finds that support the Bible. The Bible is reliable without these finds. But our reading of the Bible is deepened by their discoveries. When archaeologists dusted the dirt off what lay buried for millennia, they found support for what the Bible taught all along. And it's all very interesting! In this book, Dr. Weaver puts these distant discoveries within reach in one spot. If you are passionate about God's Word (and have a bit of Indiana Jones deep within!), Faith-Affirming Findings is your next book.--Dr Jonathan Murphy, Senior Pastor of Stonebriar Community Church, Frisco, TX (9/16/2025 12:00:00 AM)

Faith-Affirming Findings is a rare and timely gift to this generation! Dr. Weaver masterfully bridges the gap between the often-intimidating world of biblical archaeology and the everyday student of Scripture. Each discovery is thoughtfully unpacked to affirm the Bible's historical reliability, reinforcing that our faith is grounded in real events, real places, and real people. Whether you're a pastor, teacher, or simply someone who loves the Word, this resource will deepen your confidence in Scripture and equip you to study and share it with fresh clarity and conviction.--Dr Don Lough, Jr., President & CEO, World of Life Fellowship, Inc. (9/16/2025 12:00:00 AM)

Faith-Affirming Findings reminds us that the Bible is not only a book of faith but also a book grounded in history. This compelling survey of top archaeological discoveries demonstrates how the spade continues to confirm the Scriptures. With clarity and conviction, Paul Weaver shows how these findings strengthen our confidence in God's Word. Here's my recommendation. Buy two copies: one to read and one to give to a friend. It's that good!--Dr Ray Pritchard, President, Keep Believing Ministries (9/16/2025 12:00:00 AM)

As we discover more artifacts in Israel and surrounding countries, we have further confirmation of the accuracy and historicity of the Bible. One book that will increase your faith in these archaeological finds is Dr. Paul Weaver's Faith-Affirming Findings. You learn of the top fifty archaeological discoveries that document the accuracy and reliability of God's Word. This book is a great companion to his podcast and YouTube videos.--Kerby Anderson, President, Prob Ministries, Host, Point of View radio talk show (9/16/2025 12:00:00 AM)

Do archaeological discoveries support or contradict the Bible? Where can someone go to find a reliable answer to that question? While a trip to Israel can certainly help, Dr. Paul Weaver's new book provides an even more cost-efficient option. In Faith-Affirming Findings, Dr. Weaver takes the reader on a tour of museums around the world, exploring fifty archaeological finds that demonstrate the accuracy and reliability of God's Word. Each chapter focuses on a unique discovery and includes photos, relevant Scripture passages, and detailed information on what was uncovered and how it helps affirm the Bible. While the book provides a fascinating look at each discovery, the additional Passage Index and Biblical Name Index guarantee the book will rest on my reference shelf, allowing me to track down archaeological answers as I'm studying the Bible. Dr. Weaver has done a great service to all Bible students who want to know how archaeology affirms our trust in God's Word. Buy it. Read it. And then be sure to reference it later in your studies!--Dr Charlie Dyer, Professor-at-Large of Bible, Moody Bible Institute (9/16/2025 12:00:00 AM)

Dr. Paul Weaver's new book, Faith-Affirming Findings, is a treasure-trove of well-organized, accessible evidence for the truth and reliability of the Bible. If you're a Christian seeking to encourage and inform others, or a seeker investigating the claims of the Bible, Faith-Affirming Findings will open your eyes to the rich world of archaeological corroboration. Faith-Affirming Findings will be a welcome addition to the libraries of believers or first-time investigators.--J. Warner Wallace, Senior Fellow, Colson Center for Christian Worldview (9/16/2025 12:00:00 AM)

Faith is under fire today like never before. The internet and social media are flooded with challenges to God's Word, undermining confidence in its accuracy and authority. This book provides a strong cure for this confidence crisis. Carefully presenting one discovery after another, Dr. Weaver shows how archaeology corroborates and confirms the Bible. I recommend this book for pastors, youth leaders, Bible study teachers, and anyone else in search of strong apologetical, archaeological evidence supporting the divine origin of the Bible.--Dr Mark Hitchock, Senior Pastor, Faith Bible Church, Edmond, OK (9/16/2025 12:00:00 AM)

In Faith-Affirming Findings, Paul Weaver has created a resource that will benefit all who value the important dialogue between the biblical text and archaeological record. He writes from within the faith community and clearly holds a high view of Scripture. I plan to carry a copy of Faith-Affirming Findings with me when I lead tours in the Holy Land.--Dr Scott Stripling, Provost and Professor, The Bible Seminary (9/16/2025 12:00:00 AM)

Paul Weaver has done a service for both scholars and laymen in this unique work. He has gathered information spread across a library of different volumes into one source and has carefully explained how these discoveries of ancient items can illuminate for us our biblical texts. He is careful also to show how these discoveries vindicate the truth of our ancient Scriptures.--Dr William Varner, Professor, Biblical Languages and Bible Exposition, The Master's University (9/16/2025 12:00:00 AM)

Throughout my Bible teaching career, I've always wished that there was a single source that would bring together the most significant archaeological findings relevant to biblical studies. It has finally arrived. Faith-Affirming Findings is accurate and accessible, engaging and enjoyable. It reflects an honest engagement with the scholars but is written for the serious student of the Scriptures. With the ability to update the media linked to the QR codes, Weaver has ensured this valuable resource will live long and well. I couldn't recommend this book more highly!--Mark L. Bailey, Chancellor and Senior Professor of Bible Exposition, Dallas Theological Seminary (9/16/2025 12:00:00 AM)

Wow! I wish I had this book before recording twenty-two hours of video highlighting the major archeological finds affirming the Bible. Dr. Weaver nails it! He clearly shows that the Bible is corroborated by major archeological findings, and that those who say otherwise have a lot more faith than believers. This very practical book is highly recommended!--Dr Frank Turek, President, Cross-Examined, Author, I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Athiest (9/16/2025 12:00:00 AM)
