Title: Archaeology and the Bible
Description: A fascinating, delightful read!  From the original cover: ". . . Alive with interest for student, inquiring layman and armchair adventurer alike, here is a comprehensive and authoritative reference work designed to clarify recent archaeological revelation and to weigh its significance in the pageantry of the Christian faith."   Quoting professor Owen, the page continues with, "The ancient world of the Bible has arisen from the grave of centuries to intrigue the minds, enliven the emotions and educate the wilfully purposeful modern man. . ."

Note:  In 1961 I took a class, "Archaeology of the Middle East" from Professor Owen in Colorado Springs -- and ended up typing a good portion of the manuscript for this book as a favor to him.  At one point I became so engrossed in the text I typed right on and off the end of the page -- which fell to the floor and had to be re-typed!  I just recently discovered a copy of the book in our church library and find it as enjoyable and as well written as when I worked on it!
