Hebrew bible slide set

About this book

"Archaeology shines a unique light on the world of the Bible. This slide set aims to illuminate the ancient text by pairing carefully selected images from the realm of archaeology with specific chapters and verse. The images come from the archaeologists themselves and from world-famous photographers. This Hebrew Bible slide set includes familiar basics such as the Gilgamesh Flood tablet, Hezekiah's Tunnel and Sennacherib's reliefs at the conquest of Lachish, as well as an array of recent discoveries. Among the new finds are the temple at ʻAin Dara, Syria, which clarifies a number of puzzling details about Solomon's Temple, and the recently discovered wall system on Jerusalem's eastern slope, which has overturned many established theories about Jerusalem's defense and water systems."
