O knihe
- This topic has broad general appeal. Television documentaries about biblical archaeology continue to be popular attracting high audience ratings.
- Cline approaches the subject from a secular perspective which many other books on the topic do not.
- Separate chapters deal with the Hebrew Bible and New Testament, conveying the essential debates that archaeologists continue to address.
- Cline also discusses the issue of frauds and forgeries, and looks at the future of biblical archaeology.
Archaeologist Eric H. Cline here offers a complete overview of this exciting field. He discusses the early pioneers, such as Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie and William Foxwell Albright, the origins of biblical archaeology as a discipline, and the major controversies that first prompted explorers to go in search of objects and sites that would "prove" the Bible. He then surveys some of the most well-known biblical archaeologists, including Kathleen Kenyon and Yigael Yadin, the sites that are essential sources of knowledge for biblical archaeology, such as Hazor, Megiddo, Gezer, Lachish, Masada, and Jerusalem, and some of the most important discoveries that have been made, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Mesha Inscription, and the Tel Dan Stele. Subsequent chapters examine additional archaeological finds that shed further light on the Hebrew Bible and New Testament, the issue of potential frauds and forgeries, including the James Ossuary and the Jehoash Tablet, and future prospects of the field.
