In today's world, history often seems irrelevant, leaving many people without a solid grasp of biblical and historical context. However, archaeology, the meticulous examination of past human societies through their material remnants, offers a powerful antidote to this lack of understanding. While the Bible can stand on its own without external validation, the field of archaeology provides a fascinating lens through which to explore ancient civilizations and events. In this book, John Currid, a renowned archaeologist and professor, delves into the rich tapestry of the biblical world, offering insights into the region's geography, excavation history, and notable archaeological sites. He also explores a range of discoveries, from agricultural practices to burial customs, that shed new light on the people and cultures of the past. This engaging introduction is perfect for students and anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the biblical world and the ways in which archaeology illuminates Scripture.
