Archaeology and the Old Testament

Plot

”No field of research has offered greater challenge and promise than that of Old Testament Archeology. The reason for the growing enthusiasm for Biblical Archeology is not difficult to find. It lies in the supreme importance of the message and meaning of the Bible itself," says Dr. Unger in his preface. To acquaint all those interested in Old Testament study with the archeological research and discoveries pertaining to the Old Testament, Dr. Unger has written this valuable and vital text after several years of research and preparation. THE CHAPTER TITLES ARE: The Role of Archeology in the Study 0f the Old Testament / Abraham and His Age / The Period of the Judges / Israel on the Eve of the Monarchy / The Reign of David / Empire of Solomon / The Last Years of Judah / Judah Under Persia. Thus widelv and thoroughly does Dr. Unger cover this subject. Knowing that pictures sometimes mean more than a thousand words, this vital work has also been cenerouslv illustrated~nearly 100 characters, places and interesting objects are pictured together with detailed maps showing the Holv Land and its environs during Old Testament days. Also included are plans of some of the Old Testament cities. Here is a work that Bible institutes and seminaries as well as Christian colleges will find invaluable and up~to~date. Alert Christians, too, will appreciate the content of this important text~a milestone in archeological literature.
