Archaeological discoveries can shed a flood of light on the
biblical text. In this richly illustrated resource, Alfred Hoerth
surveys the entire Old Testament, pointing out the relevant
archaeological material and explaining how it enriches biblical
studies.
"Teachers and students alike will welcome the combination of
Hoerth's informed scholarship and engaging style of presentation as
he skillfully guides them through the many facets of biblical
archaeology. His careful selection of material and his sensible
approach to showing the reader how to use that material to gain
understanding of the Old Testament combine to make this a superb
introduction to the discipline. Hoerth's archaeological expertise
is evident on every page. His years of teaching experience also
yield their subtle fruits as he masterfully intertwines the
biblical story with the history and culture of the ancient Near
East. Archaeology and its finds become the tools of his craft as he
artfully portrays the rich culture of the biblical world."--John
Walton, Wheaton College
"The book gives a wealth of information on ancient documents
whose relevance for the biblical world is beyond dispute. The book
includes good illustrations and charts, and all readers will profit
from this eminently learned work."--"Internationale
Zeitschriftenschau fur Bibelwissenschaft und Grenzgebiete"
"This volume is richly illustrated with over two-hundred
photographs, line-drawings, chronological charts, maps, and tables.
Each chapter is enhanced by a full reference list, as well as
Scripture and subject indexes. Indeed, Hoerth has achieved what few
have attempted, an integration of the Bible and recent
archaeological discoveries in theancient Near East, while retaining
a generally high view of Scripture. This volume makes a significant
contribution to the field and is essential for anyone interested in
Near Eastern archaeology and the Bible. . . . "Archaeology and the
Old Testament" will undoubtedly serve as a reference source for
interested students of the Bible and a textbook for introductory
archaeology courses in seminaries and parochial schools for many
years to come."--Michael G. Hasel, "Andrews University Seminary
Studies"
"This volume provides a thoughtful introduction for students of
the discipline and those preparing for ministry in the
church."--Arie C. Leder, "Calvin Theological Journal"
