Veteran archaeologist John McRay sheds light on the biblical text by examining archaeological discoveries in "Archeology and the New Testament."

 | Great lessons for newcomers to archeology Apr 16, 2001 |
| After reading Archeology and the Old Testament by Hoerth, this book fills out the needed holes. For a newcomer to the field of archeology this book helps to understand some of the basics. Very well put together and infromative. The development of ideas is clear and insightful. This book is a winner, and I recommend this for any student of the Bible who seeks to teach the Word of God in it's context. You will find yourself quoting from this book in your sermons!!!

| An up to date discussion of the more important archaeological finds relevant to New Testament studies. Packed with social and cultural insights and written clearly. | | | | A thorough, well written and illustrated work. Aug 8, 1999 |
| Although a scholarly, the author has done an excellent job of thoroughly presenting the current state of the archaeology of the New Testament in a manner both the scholar and layman will find approachable and thrilling. The author handles all significant topics of New Testament archaeology from the life of Christ to the missionary journeys of the Apostle Paul in a systematic manner. For example, the author discusses and illustrates where Christ was templed by the devil from the pinnacle of the temple. In another example, fascinating pictures of 1st century life come alive through discussions of the dates and events that occured as Paul lived and shared the word of God with people at the various cities on his journeys. This weaving of biblical passages with the archaeological data make the book readable and sheds new light on the Bible and the historical sites. There are detailed discussions of the city planning, civic centers, housing, commercial activities, entertainment, and the methods and difficulties of travel in the Roman world. There is a special chapter on archaeology and ancient documents. The book is very well illustrated and includes detailed maps of most archaeological sites. There are many photographs and numerous Endnotes for further study. | | | Write your own review about Archaeology and the New Testament
