A Century of Biblical Archaeology
(Louisville, KY: Westminster/John Knox Press, 1991) 189 pp., $14.99 P.R.S. Moorey, Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
In an engaging style and with in-depth documentation, P.R.S. Moorey traces the history and philosophical development of Biblical archaeology from its birth in the 19th century to 1990. Moorey focuses on the intellectual, political and ideological factors that have influenced archaeological research and interpretation in the Holy Land since Sir Flinders Petrie’s first scientific excavations in 1890. By highlighting collaboration and conflict between archaeologists and Biblical scholars, an intriguing picture emerges of Biblical archaeology today.
