Archaeology and Old Testament study

the long version

This volume is not intended primarily for archaeologists -- it may, however, hold some interest for them -- but for those many students of the Old Testament, whether they be teachers of Scripture in schools, or clergy, or others who are not professional scholars, who wish to know what interest and importance particular sites in Palestine and in other countries of the ancient Near East have for them. The contributions are accordingly not intended to be technical archaeological studies. They attempt rather to relate the archaeological material from the sites as closely as possible to the Old Testament, and to bring out relevant points of interest concerning history, chronology, geography, literature, religion, social life, and so on.
