Looking for a good book on biblical archaeology?
If you've ever been to Israel, you know how archaeology is rather a national
pastime. Just as in America, where citizens take pride in their history as shown
in places like Valley Forge and Mount Vernon, and display the original of the
Declaration of Independence in the National Archives, Israelis take even greater
pride in places like the Western Wall and Masada, and display the Dead Sea
Scrolls in the Israel Museum. (The difference is that the National Archives
actually shows a copy of the Declaration, not the real one, behind the glass,
just to be on the safe side.)
Here are books on Archaeology (Biblical, that is) and Ancient History
(Jewish, that is). We've included books by respected Israeli archaeologists and
others in related fields, as well as books on Judaism in antiquity in and
outside of Israel. You'll find books on
ancient synagogues, on
animals in daily life in ancient Israel, and
wine production in ancient Israel, among others. Oh, and if you're looking
for books on the modern State of Israel, click here.
