Has Archaeology Buried the Bible?

About this book

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

In the last several decades, archaeological evidence has dramatically illuminated ancient Israel. However, instead of proving the truth of the Bibleā€”as an earlier generation had confidently predictedā€”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?Ā 

Has Archaeology Buried the Bible?Ā simplifies these complex issues and summarizes the new, archaeologically attested ancient Israel, period by period (ca. 1200ā€“600 BCE). But it also explores in detail how a modern, critical reader of the Bible can still find relevant truths by which to live.
