Biblical Studies and Archaeology,
By
This review is from: Jerusalem in Bible and Archaeology: The First Temple Period (Symposium Series (Society of Biblical Literature), No. 18.) (Paperback)
This symposium provides the reader with a breadth of opinion on the archaeological evidence and interpretation in Jerusalem. The editors have brought together the work of biblical scholars and archaeologists with diverse opinions about how to interpret archaeology and the relation of findings to biblical texts. Authors deal with Jerusalem from the Bronze Age through the end of the first temple period. Not a text I would recommend to the novice. Some basic understanding of major archaeological features of the city and Hebrew Bible, especially (1 Samuel thru 2 Chronicles) are required.
