+ much more!

 

 

 The Summer 2023 issue of Biblical Archaeology Review is packed with stories, profiles, news, quizzes, and contests that are sure to entertain, inform, and enlighten.

In “The Rise of the Maccabees,” explore the evidence for the power politics that lay behind the rise of the Hasmonean state in the late second century BCE. In “David and Solomon’s Invisible Kingdom,” examine a bold new theory that the legendary biblical kings did, in fact, rule over a powerful kingdom, but that it was made up largely of nomads. Then, in “Jerusalem’s Temple Treasures: Where Did They Go?” uncover a little-known Hebrew text that preserves the intriguing tradition that some of the First Temple treasures were hidden away in Mesopotamia after 586 BCE. Finally, in “The Amorites and the Bible,” learn about one of the legendary peoples encountered by the Israelites when they arrived in Canaan.

The issue also brings you the latest news and developments in biblical archaeology, including a profile of new methodologies that make use of the earth’s geomagnetic field to reveal buried buildings and even the precise date of biblical battles. Analyze a short Hebrew inscription that may reveal ancient Israel’s northern border in the ninth century BCE. And visit a Crusader-era church located just outside of Jerusalem to explore its brilliant frescoes depicting scenes from the life of Jesus.

Then see how ancient texts and experimental archaeology help identify zori, the mysterious biblical resin grown in the land of Gilead that was used to treat everything from cough to indigestion. Learn what modern biblical scholarship teaches about the historical Paul, his teachings, and his relationship to Judaism. And take a closer look at the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Mesopotamian tale that influenced generations of storytellers and writers from across the biblical world.

 

Biblical Archaeology Review (BAR) unearths the archaeological world of the Old and New Testament. Enhance your Biblical knowledge with the latest discoveries and controversies in archaeology, breathtaking photography, informative maps and diagrams. Unique in its melding of the academic study of archaeology with an eager general audience, BAR's nondenominational discussion forum appeals to a wide range of views.
