An Introduction to Bible Archaeology answers the ques-tions commonly asked about archaeology. The author explains how archaeology is done and how evidence is dated in a way that is thorough yet easy to understand, even for those with no background in archaeology.

Studying ancient civilizations, Bible cities, and kings will bring your study of Scripture to life and will increase what you can draw from the pages of the Bible and apply to your own life. And archaeology can help you defend the truth of Scripture to others as discoveries in the Near Eastern and Mediterranean lands confirm the biblical record.

Originally published as part of the BEGINNINGS series, this edition is revised and updated. A final chap-ter gives you resources for further study.
