Both K.A. Kitchen and Rick Hess have made arguments that the names in the Old Testament fit the right time period (and place) for the various stories. A powerful argument has been made for the New Testament that the names fit the right place (and time period) for the events of the gospels. In 2018 Tyndale House began a ten-year project investigating and seeking (if possible) to develop this argument for the Old Testament as well. This session will provide the first public report on the progress so far, which has been significant.
