Debating the Canon: Scripture, Archaeology, and External Evidence
0:19
A challenger asks how one can know Scripture is true without appealing to Scripture itself, arguing that Scripture cannot prove itself. The respondent points to archaeology as a literal science and to manuscript evidence that would be admissible in a court of law. The challenger replies that archaeology does not establish what the canon is, and claims this demonstrates the limits of external evidence.
