biblical history
Sacred past events
Biblical history refers to the events, people, and narratives recorded in the Bible, or the scholarly study of those accounts.
The term can mean the historical periods the Bible describes from Creation through the early church or the academic discipline that examines biblical texts as historical sources.
Some use it to affirm the Bible's accuracy; others treat it as one source among many for understanding the ancient Near East and early Christianity.
