Scripture and Other Artifacts: Essays on the Bible and Archaeology in Honor of Philip J. King - Paperback

by Michael D. Coogan (Author)

This important volume focuses on the contribution of excavated material to the interpretation of biblical texts. Here, both practicing archaelogists and biblical scholars who have been active in fieldwork demonstrate that archaeological data and biblical accounts are complementary in the study of ancient Israel, early Judaism, and Christianity. Thus scriptural and archaeological finds are illuminated by consideration of both.
