Archaeology of the Bible: The Greatest Discoveries From Genesis to the Roman Era Hardcover – Illustrated, October 25, 2016

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

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!

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.

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.

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

Bought this as a gift for my mom and she loved it!!

History of Israel in antiquity, Egypt and the Roman rule over Judea during the life time of Jesus, very vividly described, and supported by many archaeological discoveries makes it a concise and yet very commendable book for any history teacher or student.

great content and great pictures
