Description

Archaeology and Biblical Studies: A New Perspective. This book explores the relationship between archaeology and biblical studies, examining how recent discoveries can shed new light on the life and times of ancient Israel. Professor Dever draws on excavations and surveys conducted in Israel over the last decade to illuminate the Hebrew Bible. By combining textual study with archaeological findings, Dever offers an original interpretation of the connection between the study of the Bible and the material culture of the ancient Near East. This volume is a valuable resource for graduate students, professors, and scholars of Biblical studies and Syro-Palestinian archaeology, as well as seminarians, pastors, rabbis, and others. With extensive notes and use of new and unpublished data, this book brings readers up to date on recent archaeological discoveries relevant to the Hebrew Bible.
