“Those seeking to defend inerrancy often rely on the argument of Gleason Archer in regards to the failed prophecy of Ezekiel 26, referring to Nebuchadnezzar’s siege on the island city of Tyre.

Unfortunately, evidence from the wider Ancient Near East – as well as the Biblical text – demonstrate that this argument doesn’t hold up to close examination.” – Dr Bowen of Johns Hopkins University, Near Eastern Studies.

Dr. Josh Bowen holds a Ph.D. in Ancient Near Eastern Studies, (Assyriology major with a minor in Hebrew Bible), an M.A. in Ancient Near Eastern Studies (both from The Johns Hopkins University), and a Th.M. in Old Testament Studies (Capital Bible Seminary). A former Pastor, now an academic, Dr Bowen has extensive experience teaching Biblical Hebrew.
