Can the Bible be used as a historical guide? One archaeologist thinks so

Can the Bible be used as a historical guide? One archaeologist thinks so: Stripling's findings were met with criticism from prominent Israeli archaeologist, Israel Finklestein, the man who led an extensive dig of the site in the 1980's. Finklestein does not believe the Bible is accurate enough to be relied upon as a resource and believes that the lack of evidence found at the site suggests the Tabernacle never stood there.
