Archaeology and the Old Testament

A seasoned archaeologist illustrates how various finds increase our understanding of the Old Testament. Alfred J. Hoerth discusses both the benefits and limitations of archaeology and also how it illuminates the cultural and historical setting for the Bible. Topics are arranged canonically for easy reference. More than 250 illustrations help readers "see for themselves".

Alfred J. Hoerth taught archaeology at Wheaton College for almost thirty years, and has participated in numerous archaeological digs. He served as a coeditor for Peoples of the Old Testament World.
