In 400
pages, the authors assemble more than 100 archaeological objects in some 25
museums, roughly in chronological order, with photographs, descriptions, and
concise explanations as to how these items relate to the Bible. Fant and
Reddish also include a number of important ancient books.
Amihai
Mazar & Ephraim Stern (Yale University Press)
Volume
I, written by the late Mazar, covers the period from 10,000 B.C. to 586 B.C.,
the year the Babylonians captured Jerusalem and destroyed the temple of
Solomon. Volume II, by Stern, covers the period 732-332 B.C. As good as these
books are, they will have to be updated thanks to some major excavations and
digs in Jerusalem and elsewhere.

and historical research have shed important light on the world of Jesus and his
first followers.
