About This Book

An investigator compiles archaeological discoveries from major museums and field sites in Egypt, Iraq, and the Levant, presenting photographs, inscriptions, sarcophagi, papyri, and monument fragments. Chapters examine cultural continuities and converging streams of revelation and history, relate material evidence to episodes treated in the Old Testament such as plagues, royal inscriptions, territorial ruins, and prophetic texts, and analyze specific artifacts that intersect with biblical names and events. The narrative emphasizes how physical remains can illuminate and sometimes corroborate historical readings of scriptural passages while distinguishing historical corroboration from spiritual interpretation. A bibliography and illustrative plates support the apologetic survey.

FOOTNOTES

[1]As this book goes to press, the grave of this Shishak has just been discovered in the famous Valley of the Kings. The first word is that the grave is intact, unspoiled by robbers. If this proves to be so, much material of value to the Biblical student will probably be recovered.
