Lost Treasures of the Bible provides detailed descriptions and photographs of significant archaeological objects in world museums that illuminate the history, culture, and practices of the biblical world. Each entry also includes a discussion of that objects relevance for understanding the Bible. It is a fascinating examination of more than one hundred treasures of biblical history - many of them relatively unknown to the general public - in museums around the world. For travelers who visit museums such as the Louvre, the British Museum, Museum Island in Berlin, the Israel Museum, and many others, this volume is an indispensable companion. Here each artifact is located not only at its museum site, but also by its specific identification number - an extremely valuable addition for smaller and lesser-known objects. To assemble this amazing collection, the authors traveled to each of these museums around the world. Their photographs, descriptions, and histories of the objects within make the most significant of these holdings equally accessible to fellow globetrotters or armchair travelers.

A treasure for your Biblical library,

This review is from: Lost Treasures of the Bible: Understanding the Bible Through Archaeological Artifacts in World Museums (Paperback)
This book is a wealth of information on Biblical archaeological finds in museums today. I only wish there were more pictures. If you are an evangelical conservative like I am and like to keep up with what is happening in the Biblical archaeological world this book is a great resource. We have a small museum in our church with over 150 artifacts so it's great to have this on hand for questions that come up. The only other problem I have is the liberal slant on the "Biblical Significance" sections. But discernment is always needed when studying about Biblical subjects.

Extremely helpful overview of archaeological discoveries, their significance, present location in museum, etc. Agree with another reviewer that more pictures, esp. in color, would greatly enhance the book.

It is the best of its kind--actually, there isn't another. Brilliantly written, ingeniously devised, with excellent photographs throughout....oh...well...I am a coauthor.
