Confirmation Update

The Confirmation students talked about corroborating evidence for Jesus and the Bible. This is evidence that helps confirm what the Bible says. One example, is the word, “politarchs” (city officials in some translations). Luke uses this word but it wasn’t found in any official Roman documents. Eventually, there was a first-century arch that was found using that word. The first-century was the same time period Luke was writing. Now, they’ve found over 25 inscriptions with that word!

We were able to find a picture of this inscription on this website: https://leonmauldin.blog/2018/02/21/thessalonian-politarch-inscription-its-bearing-on-acts-1768/
