The Case for Biblical Archaeology: Uncovering the Historical Record of God's Old Testament People (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781629953601)

For many today, history holds little application to modern existence, and so many are biblically and historically uninformed. Archaeology--the systematic study of the material remains of human behavior in the past--provides a helpful corrective on these two fronts. The Bible can be understood without the use of outside sources and does not need to be proved. Yet archaeologist and professor John Currid shows how his field of study plays its part in restoring our understanding of ancient life and events. He gives background on the geography of the land of the Bible and a history of its excavation; describes archaeological sites throughout the land; and introduces discoveries connected to agriculture, architecture, ceramics, burial practices, and more. This introduction can be used by students as well as anyone interested in deepening their knowledge of the land of the Bible and the insights archaeology gives us on Scripture.
