Archaeology and Biblical Interpretation [EPUB ebook] 

The contributors in this book use the most recent research in key areas – the early settlements of Israel, early Israelite religion, Qumran, Jerusalem, early Christian churches – to show that ancient writings and modern archaeology can illuminate each other, but only when used with professional care. The essays represent a new generation of archaeologists and historians, with new social, political and religious concerns who draw a fresh and vital picture of the emergence of ancient Israel.
