The Bible should be taught in public schools.

All the time, archaeologists continue to uncover sites that are referred to in the Bible.

The latest discovery is the town of Emmaus, a critical evidence of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and an important evidence about the Ark of the Covenant.

Haareta reported that workers have uncovered the remains of a 2,200-year-old fort at Kiriath-Jearim on a hill near the village of Abu Ghosh on the outskirts of Jerusalem.

The fort was an outpost that dates back to a Hellenistic period. Its walls apparently were repaired by the Romans in the first century A.D.

According to the Bible, the resurrected Jesus appeared to two of His apostles on the road to Emmaus after His crucifixion. In the Gospel of Luke, Emmaus seems to be about seven miles from Jerusalem – the same current distance between Jerusalem and Kiriath-Jearim. Kiriath-Jearim is mentioned in the Old Testament as a place where the Ark of the Covenant was stored.

For centuries, the authenticity of the Bible has been under assault as critics claim it is mostly allegorical and is untrustworthy as a history book.

 But no place on Earth has been studied as closely as that part of the planet and time after time, new discoveries confirm the authenticity of locations mentioned in the Bible.

The shame of it is that anti-Christian elements in America have convinced liberal judges to erase almost all references to the Bible in public schools.

When the United States was formed, the Bible was the main textbook because of its moral, historical and geographical values.

It’s time to teach the next generation about the Bible.
