Biblical chronology dispute: Difference between revisions

This camp takes its name from [[Edwin A. Thiele]], an archaeologist and Biblical scholar who was one of a few key investigators (another was [[William A. Fulbright]]) to attempt to reconcile the king lists given in I and II Kings to the accepted secular translations of [[Assyria|Assyrian]] stone tablets and other records--the [[Assyrian chronology]]. Today, most evangelical scholars have joined the Thiele camp; Fulbright and other competitors of Thiele are regarded as less important. The Thiele camp makes some of the most controversial recommendations known to Biblical scholarship, and the dispute between the Thiele and Ussher camps is perhaps the most bitter.
