Archaeological Discoveries and the Bible
Long before Indiana Jones hit the silver screen, the archaeology of Bible lands had already caught the popular imagination. From its inception in the nineteenth century to its purported decline in the mid-twentieth, the “biblical archaeology” movement was viewed by many as offering reassurances—in the face of the withering challenges of nineteenth-century-style literary criticism—that the Bible was true. But archaeology is by its very nature ill-suited to prove (or indeed to disprove) the Bible, and therefore many today consider the biblical archaeology movement dead. Interest in the impact of archaeological discovery for the study of the Bible is, however, far from dead. New discoveries are made every year, some of profound significance. The purpose of this course is to explore the exciting intersection of archaeology and biblical studies.
