The Old Testament and the Archaeologist
The recovery of the history of the ancient
Near East through archaeology is one of the
major achievements of the modern age.
Although the impact of this new knowledge on
biblical matters is briefly surveyed, the
main concern of this book is with the
methods that archaeologists use in going
about their work. Lance discusses the
principles of excavation and how materials
recovered are brought to bear on biblical
studies. The book explains in detail the
principles of stratigraphy and typology,
suggests practical ways for the beginner to
find needed information in the confusing
array of primary and secondary publications,
and takes a brief look at the future of
biblical archaeology as a discipline.
