Biblical Archaeology Review is the flagship publication of the Biblical Archaeology Society. For more than 40 years it has been making the world of archaeology in the lands of the Bible come alive for the interested layperson. Full of vivid images and articles written by leading scholars, this is a must read for anyone interested in the archaeology of the ancient Near East.
In our July/August 2016 issue, we printed a letter from a prisoner in solitary confinement (“administrative segregation” in official prison lingo). He asked some questions about the Bible but said he was “used to not getting answers” to the letters he had been writing and sending.
We promised to transmit any readers’ responses we received to Brett Disiere. We sent him more than 40 responses.—Ed.
