In the News- Non-Biblical evidence found for Bethlehem

"Israeli archaeologists digging near the city of Jerusalem have discovered an ancient clay bulla, about 2,700 years old, bearing the name Bethlehem.

The find shows not only that the city existed, but that it probably also had a thriving commercial trade." LA Times
