BIBLICAL ARCHAEOLOGY

Jesus once said that if His disciples would not praise His name, then the very stones of the earth would cry out to bear testimony of Him. There is a sense in which the stones cry out. It is through the testimony of archaeology.

This series of studies in Biblical Archaeology was compiled by John Stevenson, assistant pastor at St Andrews Presbyterian Church and guest lecturer at Southwest Biblical Institute, South Florida Institute of Biblical Studies, Moldova Bible and Seminary in Eastern Europe, Miami International Seminary and the Boca Campus of Reformed Theological Seminary. All charts are included but unfortunately most of the maps and additional footnotes and photo illustrations have been omitted.
