First sentence: This book is concerned with field archaeology as it is practiced in the Near East, particularly in the modern state of Israel, and its implications for reading and understanding the Bible.
Description: Archaeology and the Bible examines new 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 C. H. Laughlin examines these new developments and discusses what they imply for biblical studies.-- PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION.
