ARCHAEOLOGY AND BIBLICAL

INTERPRETATION

These are exciting times for all those involved in the history of

ancient Israel, Judaism and early Christianity, for the last few decades

have seen an unprecedented amount of scholarly work upon both

textual and artefactual evidence. A clear understanding of the

relationship between archaeology and literary material is crucial for

scholars who wish to reconstruct the history of emerging Israel.

The papers assembled in this book use the most recent research in

key areas – the early settlements of Israel, early Israelite religion,

Qumran, Jerusalem, early Christian churches – to show that ancient

writings and modern archaeology can illuminate each other, but

only when used with professional care. The essays represent a new

generation of archaeologists and historians, with new social, political

and religious concerns who draw a fresh and vital picture of the

emergence of ancient Israel.

John R. Bartlett is the Principal of the Church of Ireland Theological

College. He has researched and published widely in the history and

archaeology of ancient Moab and Edom. He is the author of Edom

and the Edomites (1990) and The Bible: Faith and Evidence (1990).
