Archaeology of the Bible: The Greatest Discoveries From Genesis to the Roman Era

I just received this book today, and have flipped through it and scanned some pages.I LOVE the maps! There’s timelines at the bottom of the pages, there many many gorgeous pictures. It starts at 500,000 BC when homo erects appears in Africa and goes through to 313CE. It basically goes through the Bible and the story of the books and just states whether or not the archeology supports what is written. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t. You can’t really expect stories that were passed down orally for hundreds and hundreds of years before they were written down to get everything perfectly right.

What a fascinating book! For all of those who love archaeology, especially when it pertains to confirming the Scriptures, you will enjoy this. I absolutely love the way Jean-Pierre Isbouts writes! He is very thorough yet not tediously boring, giving many historical traces of the development of cultures, languages, and Empires, using maps and actual photos of the sites and of the finds. I love it!

Terrific., Gave several copies to friends studying the Bibke

Since this is a Nat Geo book, you know the photographs are out of this world beautiful. It's a big heavy book, but one you can get immersed in w/ a lot of detail and explanations

I am a Buddhist and wished to learn a bit more about the Christian Religion. This book has some wonderful information that I needed to understand some of the findings in archeology and the history of the Bible. Great cost, too.

I like the additional information I am getting on people, cities, events and their time lines in the bible. The pictures are wonderful.

It was gorgeous. The pictures are enthralling and my husband. He loved it and started reading straightaway!

great content and great pictures
