Question: How would you respond to this: Biblical Minimalists and Maximalists are two opposing schools of thought within the field of biblical archaeology, and they hold differing views on the historicity of biblical accounts, particularly regarding early Israel. Biblical Minimalists argue for a more skeptical and cautious approach to the historical accuracy of the biblical texts. They contend that many of the stories and events described in the Bible, especially those related to the early history of Israel, lack concrete archaeological evidence to support their claims. Minimalists suggest that much of the biblical narrative should be considered as myth or folklore, rather than straightforward history.
