Belief in Sacred Scriptures: A Matter of Faith or Science?

It was the year 1947, when some Bedouins were wandering through the mountainous regions of Israel, twelve kilometres south of Jericho, in search of a lost animal. Exhausted by the scorching sun, they came across a cave, which seemed an appealing place to rest from their fatigue. In this fortuitous …

Herald of the Good News
