Archæology and the Bible
Über das Buch
'Archæology and the Bible' is a book about archeological findings that are in support of Biblical teachings. In Egypt and Babylonia, vistas of history have been opened to views that were undreamed of before exploration began. The same is true for that part of the history of Palestine which antedates the coming of Israel. Information has also been obtained which illuminates later portions of the history, and makes the Biblical narrative seem much more vivid. It is now possible to make real to oneself the details of the life of the Biblical heroes, and to understand the problems of their world as formerly one could not do. Exploration has also brought to light many inscriptions in the various countries that confirm or illuminate the traditions, history, poetry, and prophecy of the Bible.
