Archaeology and the Bible


Overview

This volume examines developments in archaeological finds in the Near East, particularly Palestine, that are related to the Bible. Newer field methodologies, regional surveys and creative syntheses have all had an impact on traditional approaches to looking at these discoveries. John Laughlin examines these developments and discusses what they imply for biblical studies.

'The author gives a balanced view in this general introduction to the subject, which includes ... a useful comprehensive bibliography.' - J.R. Duckworth, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament
