Pass it on
For centuries, skeptics pointed to missing places and people as proof the Gospels were written too late to be true. Then the shovels came out. Every "hole" that was poked got filled by something physical.
For a long time, critics argued that the Gospel of John must have been written late; perhaps in the second century; because it mentioned details that seemed anachronistic. The Pool of Bethesda, described in John 5 with five colonnades, was not mentioned in any other ancient source. It must have been a literary invention. Then archaeologists dug up the pool in the late nineteenth century, exactly where John said it was, with exactly five colonnades. The late date argument did not survive the shovel.
The Pilate Stone, discovered at Caesarea Maritima in 1961, was the first archaeological evidence that Pontius Pilate existed; a carved limestone block bearing his name and title, "Prefect of Judea." Before this discovery, some skeptics had argued that Pilate was a fictional character invented by the Gospel writers. The argument collapsed. The stone is now in the Israel Museum, and it does not care whether you believe in it.
The Erastus inscription in Corinth. The Yehohanan ossuary containing the only known remains of a crucifixion victim, with a nail still driven through the heel bone; confirming details of Roman crucifixion practice that skeptics had questioned. The synagogue at Capernaum. The pool of Siloam. The list is long and growing. Archaeology cannot prove that Jesus rose from the dead. But it has consistently confirmed the historical framework of the Gospels; the places, the people, the practices; against every skeptical challenge. The pattern is clear: the Gospels have been tested by the spade for two centuries, and the spade has not found them wanting.
