Abstract
The aim of the article considers the evolution of narrative about the famous Scottish archaeologist William Mitchell Ramsay (1851-1939), who vindicated the trustworthiness of the Acts of the Apostles. Within the context of the early - 20th century conservative Protestant apologetics Ramsay became an iconic figure of the repentant skeptic, appointed by the Divine Providence to demonstrate the literal inerrancy of the Bible. The author traces the development of that narrative in the apologetic works of conservative Protestant authors in 1910-1940 and names the main stages and key figures highlighting also the perception of Ramsay’s works in the science of that time.
