What can archaeologists tell us about Bible times? Can archaeology prove - or disprove the Bible? How do modern archaeologists set about their task?

These and many other fascinating questions are discussed in this lavishly-illustrated survey of biblical archaeology today. A team of experts has been commissioned to open up some of the mysteries of archaeology, and to answer such questions as: What did Jesus look like? What weapons did the Old Testament heroes use? Where was Jesus crucified? Where are the lakeside cities of Galilee today?

The book is illustrated in full colour throughout, and is an ideal introduction to biblical archaeology.
