Digging Through the Bible by Richard A. Freund Pdf

"Many of our religious beliefs are based upon faith alone, but archaeology gives us the opportunity to find evidence about what really happened in the distant past - evidence that can have a dramatic impact on what we believe and how we understand the Bible today. Professor and rabbi Richard A. Freund takes readers through many of his own archaeological excavations in the Holy Land, searching for evidence about key biblical characters and events. Many of these excavations have been featured in documentaries and books. Now, for the first time, these discoveries are presented together - with startling results." "Digging through the Bible presents overviews of the evidence surrounding figures such as Moses, ancient Israelite kings David and Solomon, and Mary the mother of Jesus, as well as new information that can help us more fully understand biblical life and history. Freund also presents new evidence about the discovery of the grave of the Teacher of Righteousness mentioned in the Dead Sea Scrolls and gives a compelling argument about how and why the Exodus of the Israelites may have taken place in three separate exoduses, rather than in a single event."--BOOK JACKET.

The Bible and Archaeology by Matthieu Richelle Pdf

This book is a brief, popular (but informed and up-to-date) introduction to the relationship between the Bible and archaeology. Material culture (i.e., artifacts) and the biblical text illuminate each other in various ways, but many of us find it difficult to reach a nuanced understanding of how this process works and how archaeological discoveries should be interpreted. This book provides an irenic and balanced perspective on these issues, showing how texts and artifacts are in a fascinating “dialogue” with one another that sheds light on the meaning and importance of both. What emerges is a rich and complex picture that enlivens our understanding of the Bible’s message, increases our appreciation for the historical and cultural contexts in which it was written, and helps us be realistic about the limits of our knowledge.

Biblical Archaeology by David Elton Graves Pdf

Each year archaeologists discover many new finds at sites throughout the lands of the Bible, but few of them make the news headlines. Revisionist scholars often seek to undermine and downplay the relevance of many of the discoveries, believing that Sodom never existed, the Exodus never happened, Jericho never fell to the Israelites, and David was never a great king. This work challenges the minimalist views by bringing together many of the new discoveries from the last 20 years highlighting the recent finds that are relevant to the claims of the Bible. Experienced archaeologist David Graves has assembled a helpful collection of discoveries that will take you on a journey to: * Confirm the historicity of the biblical events and people of the past* Explore the full range of new archaeological discoveries, from pottery, inscriptions, seals, ossuaries, through to coins, manuscripts, and other artifacts* Present a short history of archaeology, outlining its characteristics and role in Christian apologetics* Lay out the limitations of archaeology and its methodological fallacies* Explain the meticulous method of excavation* Explore the significance of manuscripts for the transmission of the Bible* Navigate the maze of arguments between the minimalists and maximalists controversyThis insightful book will: * Illustrate archaeological finds with more than 140 pertinent photographs* Provide numerous detailed maps, carefully crafted charts and tables of previous discoveries* Include helpful breakout panes, dealing with "Quotes from Antiquity," and "Moments in History"* Include a glossary defining technical archaeological terms* Provide extensive footnotes and bibliography for future studyThis invaluable resource provides an interesting and informative understanding of the cultural and historical background of the Bible illustrated from archaeology. This is an accessible resource intended for laypeople who want to know more about archaeology and the Bible, whether in seminary courses, college classrooms, church groups or personal study.

Recent Archaeological Discoveries and Biblical Research by William G. Dever Pdf

Archaeology and Bible--two simple terms, often used together, understood by everybody. But are they understood properly? If so, why are both subject to such controversy? And what can archaeology contribute to our understanding of the Bible? These are the problems addressed by Professor Dever in this book. Dever first looks at the nature and recent development of both archaeology and Biblical studies, and then lays the groundwork for a new a productive relationship between these two disciplines. His “case studies” are three eras in Israelite history: the period of settlement in Canaan, the period of the United Monarchy, and the period of religious development, chiefly during the Divided Monarchy. In each case Dever explores by means of recent discoveries what archaeology, couples with textual study, can contribute to the illumination of the life and times of ancient Israel. Given the flood of new information that has come from recent archaeological discoveries, Dever has chosen to draw evidence largely from excavations and surveys done in Israel in the last ten years--many still unpublished--concerning archaeology and the Old Testament. Dever’s work not only brings the reader up to date on recent archaeological discoveries as they pertain to the Hebrew Bible, but indeed goes further in offering an original interpretation of the relationship between the study of the Bible and the uncovering of the material culture of the ancient Near East. Extensive notes, plus the use of much new and/or unpublished data, will make the volume useful to graduate students and professors in the fields of Biblical studies and Syro-Palestinian archaeology, and the seminarians, pastors, rabbis, and others. This book provides stimulating, provocative, and often controversial reading as well as a compendium of valuable insights and marginalia that symbolizes the state of the art of Biblical archaeology today.
