Has Archaeology Buried the Bible?

William G. Dever

0/5 ( ratings)

Bringing the Bible and ancient Israel into a new and brighter light

In the last several decades, archaeological evidence has dramatically illuminated ancient Israel. However, instead of proving the truth of the Bible—as an earlier generation had confidently predicted—the new discoveries have forced us to revise much of what was thought to be biblical truth, provoking an urgent question: If the biblical stories are not always true historically, what, if anything, is still salvageable of the Bible’s ethical and moral values?

Has Archaeology Buried the Bible? simplifies these complex issues and summarizes the new, archaeologically attested ancient Israel, period by period . But it also explores in detail how a modern, critical reader of the Bible can still find relevant truths by which to live.
